I think one of the interesting parts of the gameplan will be how USC moves the ball on the ground. From watching some games of USC last year, your strength appears to be on the corners. That kind of containment is a strength of the Bucks D, so we have strength on strength. You should mosey over and watch some Malcolm Jenkins highlights and how he covers the corners.

We have a big bruising back named Broderick Green and I am not sure how CPC is going to use him during the game. Also, Marc Tyler, A big back with pretty good speed so, with all the differnt backs available, I am not sure what he is going to do. That is a good thing no? I think your strength is your LB's and db's, but who knows? We will see, along with pretty much all of America, and the world! Gosh, its cool when everyone in the world wants to watch your teams play, isnt it? Almost like the super bowl!

You misunderstood. I think that we can beat SC with last years Boeckman despite his shortcomings because of the talent and experience that will be surrounding him. Sanchez will be protected by an entirely new line playing its first meaningful game. And I don't think its even arguable that Sanchez is as capable as Boeckman.

It's natural that a team with superior athletes will outlast an inferior team and pull away. I expect that the stats would illustrate a similar trend among every top tier program. You can't apply that reasoning to this game. I guarantee your players will be slowing down as the game goes on.

This just perturbs me. The scarlet runs through our veins. We have children and they are inherently buckeyes. If my son had done as you had I would

1 Discipline him until I felt confident enough that he understood the concepts of loyalty and treason

2 Adjust my perspective. Try to understand what I had done or not done to raise a child capable of rooting against tOSU. And further whether he had become a Trojan fan for situational or god forbid dispositional reasons.

3 Interrogate my wife. And if I were not entirely certain afterward, consider a DNA test.

That last part was just good natured fun and in no way was meant to insult you, your beliefs, or your family.

I think Boeckman will be fine. He will be your Jay Barker. Not spectacular, but not making mistakes either. You might not win because of him a-la Young or Vick or Tebow, but you won't lose because he is behind center.

It's always helps to have a back like Beanie Wells. I think most of us are hoping for a similar formula as '02. Game managing QB who limits mistakes, but can still make a play when needed, and a franchise RB to ride.
