If I had a choice, I'd rather have Pete Carroll coaching my team down by 6 at the half rather than Mack Brown coaching them up by 6.
Nonsense. If you had the choice you'd rather ahead at the half. But it really doesn't matter. USC had an opportunity to take UT out of this game early after the Texas fumble and couldn't do it.
Yeah, no kidding.
USC can win if they stay with the nickel and dime drives. It is going for the big plays that are killing them, but UT can't seem to stop them for 3 downs with the run/screen mix and short passes.
Hopefully they won't. But if Texas can get away from their sloppiness they can run with them and hold them off, especially if they win the game of field position. Which requires a long successful first drive at the start of the 3rd.
