But you could argue it either way.

My analysis of USC is based more on the Palmer/Leinart years than last year. From what I've heard, the passing game wasn't as spectacular last year, aside from Fred Davis. By the same token, LSU 07 was different than the Russell years. Flynn and Hester were solid football players, but not very dynamic. Just goes to show how many varied styles can be successful in college football.
