Overrated, May be. Overhyped, Definitely.

BN27,

Even if USC wins this game..they are overrated unless they really blow VT in the second half, which is not going to happen. Did anybody even give VT a chance? At least one sports writer gave OSU a chance against Miami in the NC game. USC's hype was second only to Chokelahoma's.

Jarrett has looked good at points, not so good at others. But he's out there on the field, and you have to figure they've got a good one there.

USC had no answer for Randall in the first half. Which has me wondering why we haven't seen more of him running in the second.

Xavier Adibi (who has the smallest arms I've ever seen on a LB) tore a muscle in his arm.

VaTech obviously hasn't been coached on wrapping up their tackles. Their D is less than impressive. Despite that, USC hasn't looked like a top 10 team, let alone the #1. But it's the first game of the season, so who knows. Vince just made the point that it's the first game of the season for VaTech too, so it goes both ways.

VaTech has been raped with penalties, a couple of questionable value. I'm glad the Big Ten is trying out instant replay.

I like VaTech's chances.

Overrated? Hell yes. Everybody who is rated at this point is overrated.
Silly to even have ratings before the season. BTW, USC just took the lead & I agree VTech has had some problems with the refs.

I liked (past tense) VT's chances.

The offensive pass interference that wasn't pass interference. The personal foul facemask that was at best (and I stress 'at best') inadvertant, away from the ball on a non-tackle. The non-offsides. The non-facemask.

Ahhh, bitching about refs -- FOOTBALL IS BACK! Lol.

Seriously though, horrific game-altering officiating. USC is the better team, no question, but these calls have been at decisive moments.

Funny thing is I went into this game totally apathetic about who wins. I'm from VA, but associate with UVA, not VaTech. Despite that, I think VaTech has been absolutely screwed.

The flip side of that coin is if they tackled the way you're supposed to, maybe the bad calls wouldn't have mattered.

-----------

FWIW, I think the 'USC is overrated' talk is pointless. We won't know until the end of the season if they were or weren't. We certainly can't tell from this game. A billion factors could go into why this game looks the way it does. USC deserves to be #1 because they had a share of the title, and returned most of their key personnel. That aside, they deserve it because it really doesn't matter.

Kind of like John Kerry whining about the 527s... Ooops just combined politics with football.

Right Tibor what fucking game are you watching. It is amazing how often the referees have killed the mo for VT on BS calls. How often do you see a 6 man line call in a game let alone 3 plus an illegal shift.
