re: USC vs. Stanford ...

God, this "lack of depth" is the talking point of year...replacing, "eyeball test."

If and when USC loses it's because they're one-dimensional on offense and our secondary hasn't shown any improvement from last year in getting lit up.

USC's only saving grace is the shift to a running conference by all these Pac 12 teams...either by spread or power like Stanford.

Syracuse has a pretty good QB - I actually think the Cuse aren't a bad team. Up and coming from year's past.
