That is what you get for picking the Trojans, jackass!

[yankee]

well i'll say something anyway. usc will win because of several reasons. first off they have reggie bush. enough said. second, if they're defense plays anywhere near what they did against ucla, they will shut down young, who has had some rough games this year. another reason, is theyve been in this position before. they have many players on the team that went to the orange bowl (not sure) or whatever the championship game was last year. they know what to expect. Another reason, the rose bowl is usc's home, im sure they'll be a ton of usc supporters. and one other reason, oh yeah, they have matt leinart too. one of the if not the best qb in the nation at college level. if he keeps his head cool, usc wins.

[GTown02]

Actually UCLA's home is the Rose Bowl. The L.A. Collesium is USC's home field :p.

Ill be a homer and pick Texas. USC is a great matchup, and hopefully that UT D will play great.

Some implies more than one. Show me "some" rough games. The USC defense has had "some" rough games this year.

[GTown02]

I remember 1 main rough game and that was the A&M game. Other than that, VY has had a couple bad halves like the Oklahoma State game, but he usualy makes it up second half.

[PantherFan70]

This is my take on this matchup. It's Going to be like a 26 5A Match up Vs a 25 5A match up. USC is just WAY too strong, They have had som close games, but when you are as good as that team is who doesn't want to knock you off? Everybody brings their "A" game against USC and nobody seems to get it done. I think UT's WEAK schedule will be exposed in this matchup. UT will keep it close at the half, but after halftime it's all UT. They may fare a little better than OU did, but not much better. PAC- 10 Football is just way too strong for BIG 12 Football. I think only one BIG 12 team has a chance to win a bowl and it's Texas Tech. This is just my opinion, so get your panties in a wad if you disagree. Again this is Just my opinion! :D

But but but but but....Texas is a football state!

But this game may be a little bit closer than last years....

You are Right about that, the score will be closer. Probably 52 - 28 USC on top!

And I am sure that a 4 loss team from the WAC is considered strong as well

[PantherFan70]

What does a 4 loss team from WAC have to do with the PAC-10 and Big - 12? Is this a crack at Judson?

[dragonfootballfan]

no I am just saying that a 4 loss team from the WAC gave USC all they could handle, but no PAC-10 team came as close as them

[GTown02]

no I am just saying that a 4 loss team from the WAC gave USC all they could handle, but no PAC-10 team came as close as them
I thought Oregon played them kind of close?:confused: What was the final of that game?

[PantherFan70]

everyone is entitled to a bad game. As long as you win. Besides, you being a Dragon fan should know better than anybody, that when you are as good as you are EVERYONE wants to be the team to take you out! EVERYONE Wants to be the team to take out USC and step it up a notch when they play. I guess that was a bad game for them. But we shall see.

[PantherFan70]

45-13 USC

[PantherFan70]

The closest games for USC were:

Notre Dame lost by 3
Fresno State lost by 8
Arizona State (My team) lost by 10

I was using that in comparing the WAC to the PAC 10. I was not trying to say that USC was bad because of it. Everybody knows that Fresno State was a top ten team with the fastest defense on the planet

[PantherFan70]

lol.... I read that on the other thread.

[Favpack]

Can someone give me this stat - points allowed by UT and by USC? Thanks. I think this is a big stat. USC couldn't slow down Fresno St. ND or Ariz. State - I think Texas might score 48 against this USC D.

On defense, Texas has given up a total of 175 points over 12 games; USC has given up 256 points thus far.

On offense Texas has scored 611 points; and USC has scored 600 points.

Thanks - and let's remember 42 of those points for USC went to the powerhouse that is Fresno State.

[BigWhiteJake]

not even that, texas only gave up over 20 3 times, and once was a total fluke where they shut the team out in the second half (okie state) USC gave 21 to arizona, 42 to fresno,31 to ND, etc etc etc USC defense sucks...texas offense is amazing...see where this is going again...

hes joking lol something tells the best qb in the country, and the most outstanding player will do alright

[DirtyHarry01]

Spin and stats, that's all you guys type. You should go to D.C. and work for the political parties. Don't you ever get tired of all this trash talk? Oh, and Reggie Bush won with 85 percent of the first-place votes, since you like stats so much.

I HAVE STATS TOO!!!! Rankings are among NCAA Rankings.

Total Yards P/G:
USC: 587.8 (1st)
UT : 516.9 (6th)

Points Scored P/G:
USC: 50.0 (2nd)
UT : 50.8 (1st)

SO MANY MORE TO LIST! But those are the major ones. I couldn't find Strength of schedule though. USC played 5 ranked opponents and UT played 3. So I guess you could say USC has played the tougher schedule. And of course we already have points allowed posted.

[GTown02]

Actually you got them backwards...

UT: 50.8 (1st)

The rest of your stats are correct I think, but UT is the #1 scoring offense in the country.

[DirtyHarry01]

How about the average height of people in Mongolia? Do you have that? Or, the average rainfall each year in Borneo? Got that one? None of your stats will make any difference when the two teams begin the game. The only stat of import will be the final score. For all the spin and stats you guys have posted, you should win. You'd better....

[pack4life]

exactly, USC does not have the defense to stop Texas. That's where the huge difference is. They are both great offensive teams, but USC will find out real quick that Texas is not Fresno State.

[SummitGrad04]

It's ridiculous how big of an underdog UT is in this game. The national media's giving them no credit. You'd think the Longhorns are some no name juco team. I guess all the talk will make for a better story line when the horns win.

[nsmustang]

well i'll say something anyway. usc will win because of several reasons. first off they have reggie bush. enough said. second, if they're defense plays anywhere near what they did against ucla, they will shut down young, who has had some rough games this year. another reason, is theyve been in this position before. they have many players on the team that went to the orange bowl (not sure) or whatever the championship game was last year. they know what to expect.

This will be another classic game with these two teams. While Texas is the underdog, USC struggled 3 times this year and had to come from behind to pull it out- barely against Notre Dame. I can remember OU having been in the game before and that did not help them one bit last year. We'll see in January.

usc has struggled a couple times this year. so has texas.

[SummitGrad04]

That's why I don't understand how USC is predicted to win a blowout. Both of these teams have shown to be vulnerablle at times, and I believe they're pretty evenly matched.

[GarlandOwl06]

Dillusional Texas fans. If UT can't stop a freshman quarterback and running back against A&M then what in the world makes y'all think they can stop 2 heisman winners. Matt Leinart will wreck like always, so will Bush, and Vince Young will turn it over 3 times like he does in every big game.

Yes, UT did have a bad game against A&M. But if you're going to harp on that you also have to point out that USC has had a few bad games themselves. They may have a perfect record but they have not played perfectly all season

[GarlandOwl06]

The difference is that when USC had a bad game it would be against a pretty good team or a team that was just playing hard and USC would be worn out from playing such a tough schedule (i.e. Notre Dame, a BCS team, having a bye week before they played a game against the Trojans AT Southbend. And SC still pulling it out.) Texas played poorly and barely won against the Aggies, not a bowl team, OK State, not a bowl team, and really didn't to too well against a "Peterson-less" Sooners team. The Big XII is the one of the easiest confrences in the nation and UT only has one good win against Ohio State.

[wide-e-wide]

and really didn't to too well against a "Peterson-less" Sooners team.

45-12

Yeah the Longhorns really struggled with OU.

Ok State...I guess scoring 35 unanswered in the second half is having a bad game, although they did play bad in the first half. OU??? That game was never in doubt.

[GarlandOwl06]

OK, if it wasn't for one cheap pass interference call on OU, the Sooners would have taken the lead in the second quarter. Don't take too much pride in that win. Texas has a verrrry weak schedule.

So a lead in the second quarter made it a bad game for UT? What kind of argument is that? Who cares if they would have had the lead in the second quarter:confused: Last time I checked you need the lead for 4 quarters....maybe its changed in the last week or so. And why cant we take any pride in that game? Its one of the biggest rivalry games there are in college football, and we havent won it in 5 years? I think anytime Texas beats OU, you can take some pride out of it.

to the classics.

[Primetime536]

For all those who are saying texas isnt good and are 11-0 because they have played weak teams, you are wrong. Texas is a very good team. They have beat some good teams(OU and txTech) and have beaten a GREAT team in Ohio st. Although i think USC will win, dont sleep on UT.

I think this game will be around 14-14 mid 2ndQ and one of the teams will start making mistakes. I feel one of these teams will win by more then 14 points. I feel this guy will be a shootout, and one team will force a few plays and get behind.

[TexasRed6x]

I believe that this game will be a shootout as well. The big matchup for this game will be Leinhart and Bush vs. Young and Charles. If the Longhorn defense can shut down Leinart an Bush, I think they have this game won, but don't count out Lendale White. For USC, all I can say is try to do all you can to shut down young from going to his targets or allow himm to run as much. If USC can do that, they will win

[wide-e-wide]

For USC, all I can say is try to do all you can to shut down young from going to his targets or allow himm to run as much. If USC can do that, they will win

So if they can prevent Vince Young from both passing and running...they should win?
Uhhh...yeah.
But that will never happen.

[BigWhiteJake]

this is like in the high school forum when those morons go "whichever team comes out and plays better will win"

[Primetime536]

[nsmustang]

usc has struggled a couple times this year. so has texas.

It doesn't matter if UT struggled or not, it's how great everyone thinks USC is.
No matter who USC plays, everyone will still be talking about how much better a team they are than their opponent. Texas has nothing to lose in this game since they are the challenger and the underdog.

[Diablos]

USC by 14

[yankee]

USC by 14
thats a good prediction. not a blowout but not terribly close.

[lonny23]

I'll go with UT 45-42.

[Diablos]

I'll go with UT 45-42.


I don't see both teams hitting 40 + points. I think one will be in the 30's and one in the 40's hopefully. Or it might be a boring game.

[Sacred Ground]

It will be difficult to knock a champion off his thrown!

[yankee]

and texas will find that usc is no ohio state...

[Weber]

its going to be A TOUGH football game for Texas..but one thing happen and that is Vince Young is not a happy person right about now b/c he didnt win the heisman trophy and he believes he should have won....Vince Young will run over USC.....TEXAS 31 USC 28 another last mintue fieldgoal-havent we seen this before ?

[dragonfootballfan]

and texas will find that usc is no ohio state...
I am sorry, but you cannot compare playing at Ohio State final BCS rank 4 at night where they were previously undefeated to playing the third or fourth place Mountain West team at home.

Laugh it up there sip. We got us a quaterback now and he's good. I bet you whorns are shakin after that scare over Thanksgiving. We would have won but the refrees wanted Radio and his boys to play for the championship. It's okay we will get them next year.

[TheTwelffMan]

Coach Fran will have the boys ready next year. We will see.
The refrees in that game were bad. There were scared Mack would
cry to the media if they lossed. So they gave it to them. McGee ran
over those lineman all day.

[fbjones]

I have been a Vince Young believer since 2001, when he and Courtney Lewis(Madison High) beat Northshore 61-58. Last year he made Michigan look like Northshore (and Katy too). He follows that up with a great pass to beat Ohio State at their place. I believe USC has not seen the likes of Vince Young and will soon be believers also. If Vince comes back next year Texas has a chance to win back to back national championships. That would shut the Mack Brown critics for at least 5 or 6 years. I say Texas 42- USC 37
