re: Herbie would take USC on a neutral field vs LSU

USC got destroyed by Arizona State.

I find it funny that so many are commenting who have not even seen USC play much this year. I myself have seen every LSU game and USC game this year. I agree with Herby on this one. Here is why.

ASU actually was very loaded and rocking when they beat USC. But ASU got a lot of very key guys injured and it derailed them. ASU just collapsed. ASU was very good when they beat USC. USC at the time did not really click yet as a team. They only started clicking from the ND game on. And the later part of the season USC came alive and was looking like a completely different team.

When USC beat my team in our house I watched and said, holy crap, they are back. Barkley was literally lights out. They played like USC back in their prime, 2004 or 2005 days... And then their UCLA game. Oh man.... that was near perfect football played as could be played. And I hate USC btw... But at least I am honest.

Stanford, we beat very bad. I drove down to that game and saw firsthand. But any wise PAC guy knows Stanford is a terrible matchup to my Ducks as they are a very slow team. But USC matches up really nice, better then any PAC team. They have way more talent, top to bottom then my team. They get all the 5 star guys. We have to devolope our lowly 2 or 3 star guys and most of the time get just a couple of 4 star skill guys, which helps. But they at USC are big, and fast, kind of like LSU, but more so.

They really got their Offense to just click with the deep ball throws to their excellent WR's. And they have 2 that many think may be some of the best in the country. I agree, they are incredible. And well, Barkley was playing at a level in the later part of the season that made Luck look like a highschool player. Barkley could not of done any better end of season almost, near perfect- lights out.

Do not tell any USC fan I am admitting this however. Their ego is already too big. Anyways, I doubt many of you have seen all the USC games and LSU games this year such as I have. If you did, you might take a different view. But you probably cannot take off your LSU bias glasses. I don't have any bias because I don't like either of ya. lol

The key to USC is if Barkley comes back or not. If he does, they might be preseason #1, though I think LSU should be with all that young talent coming back for you. Scary, but LSU might even be better next year! If Barkley does not come back, then someone at USC who has never taken a snap will have to QB there. And as all guys that know CFB well, the PAC is all about Offense and passing. So good QB passing is very important, way more so in the PAC. My guess is that they suffer much because of a brand new QB. However USC does always pick up the very best top QB's in the country every year and have known to always have reserves at QB that are better then most Starters at any other program.

Now LSU may indeed beat USC if they played right now. However as I have said, I have seen every game of each all this year and I would easily put a grand down on USC, if I had to bet. But that just me...Take it for what its worth.

ain't worth much

what bowl game is USC in this year? i gotta watch this juggernaut they speak of

Maybe, and then maybe the LSU 5-0 record vs Top 25 teams and the USC 2-1 record vs Top 25 teams colors my thinking more than "LSU bias glasses".

Add the less than mediocre USC D:

Total D= 54
Scoring D= 47
Passing D= 101

Throw in the LSU punt return game, net punting, and T/O margin and anyone taking USC anywhere over LSU needs to be concerned over their own bias and not mine.

quote:

you would not run over USC

---

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We heard that from Oregon, WVU, Bama, Georgia, Arky, you name it.

LSU runs over nearly every team it plays because of superior depth. When a 3rd string DT is playing lights out against a worn-out 1st string OL, that OL begins to let doubt creep into his head and frustration because the LSU defense doesn't seem to get tired.

THAT's why LSU would run over USC. I watched that Stanford game, and your guys were getting gassed. In OT v. Bama, LSU still looked fresh. Bama was licking dirt from being so damned tired.

I totally agree .... and I have said the same... all season long, same Ole song and dance... with the same results, and one just can't deny the results, unless your a delusional fan ...... which is obviously the case here.

If Barkley stays we'll see them next year.

LSU would kill 'em this year.

I think it would be a very good game. USC aint no joke. I hate them, but they are stacked

so stacked they lost to asu and stanford
and needed oregon to miss a fg to beat a team lsu crushed.

not buying it. lsu would win by 13

USC couldn't win the SEC East this year.
