Graham Harrell has declared that their goal is 55 points every game.

If their goal is to score 55 points on average across the season, they're going to need to score 60 in every game besides ours to hit that target.
The more I look at USC it seems to be hanging on the precipice like UW 2008. So much has to go right for them to have an average season.

Did you go to the scrimmage? If you did, you learned a lot.
Here’s what I heard from fans and also thought myself:
- The secondary was atrocious. I can’t recall too many plays where the cornerbacks were in a position to break up a pass or do anything positive. The wide receivers were always open. USC is young at cornerback but this was one of the worst group efforts I can recall in a fall scrimmage situation.
- This is going to be a season-long problem.
-Not only were receivers open, there were a lot of pass-interference penalties.
-The running game was almost non-existent. USC’s QBs could pass at will but the run-blocking was subpar and it didn’t seem like USC was committed to running, a complaint I told you I heard about Graham Harrell at North Texas. The pass blocking was better.
-A highlight was punter Ben Griffiths‘ 58-yard kick. I guess he will be a team star this season.
-Frankly, I didn’t see any super-dynamic aspect to this offense but it was just a scrimmage.
-What about the quarterbacks? All of them had their moments. Freshman Kedon Slovis completed the most deep passes but a lot of them were underthrown and completed because the coverage was so bad.
-The funniest play was when the ref signaled JT Daniels was sacked before he released a deep pass. Of course, the pass was caught for a TD over two defenders, so Clay Helton signalled to the ref to count it as a touchdown anyways. Wonder if he would have done that for Matt Fink?

They are so fucked when they play us?. All offseason I had heard that Harrell's Air Raid was more balanced than Leach's, so they wouldn't run into the same issues against UW's defense.
Nope. Same old Air Raid. They'll put up points on everyone except Cal who models UW, and they are going to get ass raped when they play us in September.
