There's a lot to be excited about as the nation's best pass defense brings everyone back. As long as there isn't a long suspension problem with Donald Washington, Jamario O'Neal, and Eugene Clifford in the doghouse this off-season, everything should be fine. Jenkins should be in the NFL right now, but he'll be an All-America shut-down performer no one will want to throw at. There are strong backups, next-level starters, and for so much returning experience, enough youth to build around for next year, too. More interceptions would be nice, and everyone will have to do more with the pass rush to likely be a little bit weaker, but there's no reason to worry.
2. USC
SC has had the Pac-10's best pass defense two years running. There?s more than enough returning talent and former prep All-Americans to run that streak to three, although a few more interceptions would be nice. In Kevin Ellison and Taylor Mays, USC is home to a couple of hard-hitting enforcers with All-America potential. If Josh Pinkard is even close to where he was a couple of years ago, no program in the country will be able to match them at the position. Sure to get picked on early, Shareece Wright needs to give opposing quarterbacks a reason to not look to his side.
Cont'd ...
