They might be, but it won't matter. USC will lose at least 3 games next year, but they are going to plunger UW.
That six people have already up voted this depresses me. I am a roaddawg fan, but fuck your dismissive pessimism dude.
Sounds like you want to take the gloves off and that you're glad you're not like him.
Nah he's one of the best posters here but given the depth issues SC has, who their fucktarded coach is, and how we highly we view Petersen (and being in his 2nd year with his system)...I can't in good faith just anecdotally say they're going to crush us. In fact I'd say some of the intangibles would favor us.
This. If you're looking at their roster - I'd say they are worse at: RB, WR, TE, DL, LB than they were last year. They are going to have several freshmen in the front seven. Fucktards, like Sugarshittube, point to Kessler like he is fucking Mariota, but he was good at piling up stats vs shit teams and was really average vs the rest.
I think UW will keep it competitive.
USC will be a preseason top 10 team. UW is getting picked 8-10th in the Pac 12. I know preseason rankings can be FS, but let's be real. UW has way more question marks than USC. USC has a good QB. USC has returning starters on the OL. USC has more playmakers on offense. Kessler is probably overrated, but he's still one of the better QB's in the conference and miles (pun intended) better than any UW QB. And while I am more optimistic about UW's defense, they are replacing a lot of guys on that side of the ball.
The only way USC loses is if they don't show up. And with a Thursday Night home game, with some added motivation for Sark, they will show up. They are way better and while Sark is a bad coach, @Doogles had it right. He gets plungered in road games. And he will again next year.
