Georgia Tech 21 - So. Cal 7
That score says it all but in case you are not aware how bad this really is, let me enlighten you.
1. This is the same GT team that Georgia crushed by 32 points (42 - 10)
2. Lost to Middle Tennessee 49 - 28 (I am sure that MTSU has a much better offense than USC).
3. The only team that GT beat with a winning record (before today) was UNC 68 - 50.
4. GT lost to BYU 41 - 17. BYU is not known as an offensive juggernaut.
5. GT can not throw the football with any regularity, in fact they had less than 100 yards today.
So how hard can it be to prepare a team for a one dimensional offensive attack that tells you where they are going to run the football? I guess for the west coast cool guys, it seems to be very difficult.
Would somebody help me understand how this was a team in August that had more money bet on them to win a national championship than ever before. They were such a sure thing that even the savvy media experts polled selected USC overwhelmingly to stop the SEC dominance in the BSC. ESPN the magazine ran a front cover ad predicting the end of the reign for the SEC, so much for that wish.
Bottom line this was a pitiful effort today and a glimpse into the future of USC football for the next three years as the sanctions will only worsen the situation once the few players they have depart. USC's Pat Hayden (AD) should not accept another lackluster coaching performance from his staff. If he doesn't have a serious discussion with the head coach, the wrong message will be sent to an arrogant individual and also the remaining players. You can mark this down, the Trojans will not compete for a PAC 12 title for at least the next three years.
Good luck SC fans, you have a long road to travel without much of a leader to guide the program.
