re: USCe fans, what are your thoughts on the A&M game?

quote:

---

Starting DT Ivan Robinson appears to have suffered a career ending injury, and is expected to not play.

Damn, that sucks, sorry to hear that.

quote:

---

Another starting DT Isaiah Golden has withdrawn from the current semester, but is expected to be back for the fall.

---

Why?

quote:

---

Starting LB Claiborne (Lousianimal) is in limbo for the opener, as he waits for his penalties resulting from a second arrest

---

Do they have TeamVote?

quote:

If Texas a&m's new QB struggles like Manziel did in his first SEC game, this could get real ugly. Especially with a depleted defense that already sucked

---

Both teams are going to score points, I think this might be one of our highest scoring games of the season.

ANYWAY..what's the word on your team, Cocks?

We're on an 18 game home winning streak, this game is at home. I feel really good. We sell out even on Thursday games, so the crowd will be live. That will make it harder on aTm.

We have 8 returning starters on offense and 19 of the 22 from the last 2 Deep. We have 6 returning starters on defense and 17 of 22 from the last 2 Deep. CB and DE will be issues, we'll have new guys there against a pass happy HUNH team.

The game plan defensively will probably include keeping the ball on offense. We have a massive, experienced OL and the best returning RB in the SEC, we'll grind the clock to keep their offense off the field.

Still too much time b/w now and then to predict scores, plus we don't know who will play or be suspended. I feel good though. I don't think Spurrier has ever lost an opening game.
