Got a feeling the D is going to show up and have something to prove.

I’m hoping the same, but I have Viagra in case.

I'm hoping you're right, but I haven't heard anything that gives me the confidence you have. Until they prove otherwise, I am expecting a soft D with several coverage breakdowns resulting in huge plays. We simply don't have the Jimmys and Joes. Not yet.

Have you not listened to the interviews and seen practice highlights? BK has literally said there haven't been any busted coverages, that they've done away with those. There's been multiple times where the defense has won on the day. It's been said that they're aggressive and been flying around making plays. I've watched highlights of interception amd good plays. What about that says they'll be the same defense as last yr? It's clear that Matt House was the problem last yr. None of the players liked him or respected him.

I am expecting a softer rush/blitz than normal due to quick qb throws….

unless long distance plays- keep everything in front and force them to drive the field

Not what I want- but I suspect that will be the primary gameplan in most situations on Sunday

I’d feel a lot better if we weren’t playing a team who’s coach is known as an offensive genius.

D is going to be a top 50 D this year

Seems reasonable.

A lot of that is because they’ve seen the same offense all spring and summer now. USC most likely will be running new plays/new formations that we yet to see on tape yet. Additionally, they’ve got a couple 6’5 receivers that are very talented and that gave us fits last year first game against Florida state. I just hope they can do enough for the offense to get by.

45-20
