USC Classes?
Does anyone know when USC starts class this fall? I know that tOSU is on the quarters schedule, so won't start until well after this game. I love that because the Bucks can focus on football without the distraction of silly academia.

At TE right now I think McCoy is slated as a starter, but Ellison had a good spring, and I look for the freshman Ayles to get some pt also. The kid is the real deal. At wr they can only get better with a full season under their belts, but we will see. Everything still points to sanchez IMO. His mobility will help the o-line alittle bit until they gell better.

Hmm.......I have never run across a college football player that benefited from less experience. In fact, I have never run across an offensive line......or team that has benefited from a lack of experience. You say how good a guy looks in practice, or how strong he got in the offseason........but until he actually gets on the field and plays in a big game situation, you never know how he is going to react. Plus, you forget to mention that they have hardly worked together as a unit. Nowhere is it more important than the offensive line. It takes a while to build that cohesion.

I'm sure they will all be good and no one is going to get a lot of PT with FD in front of them. Point was simply, once again, to illustrate just how severe the inexperience is. No one is as good as a Frosh as they are as a SR. When you lose big time upperclassmen and replace them with brand new players there is a drop off no matter how talented the replacement is.
I know these guys are all going to be very good but honestly, if we switched places and you guys were coming into the Shoe with your whole damn team back from last year and we had your issues with youth and inexperience, I'd be concerned.

Eh, I don't necessarily agree. That may be the case most of the time, but players can have breakout years their first year. I mean, Kris O'Dowd exploded onto the scene as a freshman at a very difficult position. |
