The USC game has factored into nearly every decision the coaching staff has made this year so far. From what the Utes have shown on film, to how they have prepped for weeks 1 and 2. They know this game is, more than likely, for the South. This is a tie-breaker we must have – especially taking into account USC’s play last week.
We won’t hear it out here, but I highly doubt Idaho State gets the bulk of the prep this week. If they do, it is a mistake. Everyone knows that a team with Rose Bowl aspirations should be able to roll out of bed after a night of partying and take care of business against Idaho State. If they can’t do that then expectations are too high around here.
