There’d be a little more optimism if we had beat Stanford, but even then most of us wouldn’t be expecting to beat USC on the road. There’d also be more rah rah if we were playing ASU this week instead.
I still think we can finish in the top 25 and we’ll battle USC and maybe even win this week.
We’ll see who wins the practice battle this week. Troy still has the opportunity to earn it. I don’t think he has a confidence problem. He put up almost his PAC 12 averages from last year, except for his TD/INT numbers. Bateman is an unknown, but if he can complete 60% of his passes he gives us a better chance to win… I don’t think the coaches have done Troy any favors by playing at such a slow pace… Huntley is listed as probable now, so with any luck he’ll play this week.
It drives me crazy that we’ve slowed the pace so much since Huntley went down. It would be hard for any QB to get in rhythm when we go so slow and give the D a rest between every play.
I don’t see us beating USC even if healthy. They aren’t as good as last year, but idk that our O is strong enough to give us an edge. With some luck this could be our USC W last year, or Oregon the year before, or USC and UCLA in 2014.
