USC isn't a destination school for the NFL. The last QB drafted from USC was in 1990, some guy named Mark Ellis was drafted in the 9th round(lol).

The development of talent into NFL caliber QB's is not something you find in USC. Defensive linemen seems to be their bread and butter.

Todd Ellis was his name, and no, Anthony Wright was drafted in the '99 and played for eight years as a journeyman QB in the league. LINK

An NFL type QB is not what winning in college ball is all about. They are few and far between and far more of them come from FCS programs than most are willing to admit.

... and OLinemen, TEs, DBs, kickers, LBs, WRs, etc. lulz - care to compare the number of Gamecocks currently on NFL rosters to the number of mizzourites currently on NFL rosters? Especially big time players?

Mizzou has what, 30 on rosters right now compared to SCAR's 38? Or do you want to compare high draft picks? Pro-bowlers? You name your poison slick. lulz
