It's TR so that's cool. Regarding his tactics we may never know till he writes a book after retirement. JJ has always had zero pocket presence and was never a passing threat. Lee was actually the highest rated QB in SEC. The problem in the 11/5/11 game wasn't so much the two picks he threw, it was the 'deer-in-the-headlights, completely bewildered look he had...imo. CLM counted on him and it didn't pan out. The million dollar question is why not give Zach a shot, along with JJ after 11/5 game. Like I said, have to wait for the book most likely. Done deal now though.

To be honest I'm looking forward to the Oregon/USC game almost as much as the LSU/UA game. Thomas and that white QB (can't remember his name) are two of the football fastest kids I've seen in a while. USC will be their biggest test. It seems with the Trojans the biggest concern, aside from focus every game, is keeping the guys healthy. If both happens I have a feeling the PAC12 CCG might be a play in for the BCS CG.

I always liked JL, and it was obvious he had a big arm. I am not sure he ever got over his FR year though, when people were crucifying him over his interceptions.

Pete Carroll's Trojans were guilty of that lack of focus sometimes, but Lane Kiffin (and I am as surprised about this as anybody) is doing a very good job of keeping his team sharp.

Injuries happen, inevitably. One of the biggest knocks on SC is lack of depth. We've only got one scholarship FB, for instance.

Kiffin showed last year that he wasn't afraid to start young, inexperienced players. He may have to burn a red shirt or two this season if SC sustains a few injuries, but he's bringing in a pretty good crop of recruits, and they all want to play right away anyway.
