Tennessee game ...

This whole "kneeland" stadium thing worries me.

This is one of those things that you grin or laugh when you first read it, but then almost cringe b/c it's based on fact. They tackle for the knees, I saw it the whole game against uga. I almost wish it was possible for us to give everyone braces just for that fact.

As far as how we match up, I look at the Stats, we're better than UT in just about all of them. I put who is statistically "better" in BOLD.

USC 8th in 3rd Down Conv, UT 91st in 3rd Down Conv Defense.

Statistically, we should be able to overload them. We'll see if that happens though in Kneeland Stadium.

I am a little nervous but still think we win 31-21 or something along those lines. We are flat out better than them by a good bit, but they will definitely be ready to play.

As far as our DB's needing to grow up... I am not overly worried about them passing on us. There is a reason we didn't recruit Worley and it is definitely showing.

Anyone making the trip?

Thank you ... I was hoping someone would type it before me.

Last year he had three NFL type WRs.

Ever watch him play? He rattles easily, cannot throw on the run. Throws just about as badly when his feet are set - too high, too low, wide right wide left and then repeat.

If we get pressure on him we roll.

We have got to quit with the turnovers.

We need our defense to really grow-up and shine in this game.

I dunno. I haven't got a feel for this thing yet.

I'm curious as well.

Face value. $80 a piece, and she is selling both together.
