Touche.

Good catch, my down south homie, lol.

Only one thing left to do, crush Penn State and cause the knee-jerk crowd to implode.

How does this effect national perception of the Big Ten?

USC crushed OSU

but PSU crushed Oregon State

Transitive interpretations need to die. This Oregon State team did NOT play Penn State last week.

If they do indeed lose, I wonder where they'll fall to.

But Oregon State will jump to # 10

Probably not 10+ spots like tOSU.

What bothers me is that I can almost guarantee OSU will be back to their usual slow defense next week. OSU, like almost every Pac Ten team, only wakes up for their game against SC. Tale as old as time, baby!

Pete Carroll doesn't do well against OSU at home, I thought he would put an end to that tonight, but apparently not. The thing is, odds are he will crush everyone else he plays, but this loss to an unranked team will just haunt him.

I think the Big10's perception stays the same 'til bowl season.

The bed has been made already (fairly or unfairly)...just my opinion.

Yeah, ahead of the PSU team that whooped their ass.

he was getting grossly outplayed by your starter until his injury. Poor selection imo.

Clutch performance by a youngster and worthy of many kudos, but there were better performances last week imo.

< 200 yds, 2 td, 1 int is not player of the week worthy, especially given the first half.

:2004:

It won't and it shouldn't. Not as long as OSU dominates the big 10 and looks completely overwatched against anybody good.

It's not as if the same thing doesn't happen to tOSU in the Big Ten, and Texas and OU in the Big XII. Just part of being the big boy in your conference. You guys get up for the big games, but can't stay focused against the teams you're supposed to beat in-conference. We generally beat the teams we're supposed to, but look like 8th graders in the biggest OOC games of the season. I'm not sure what's more frustrating.

You're probably right. The media will somehow keep USC the title run. And whoever beats them, just HAS to be a top 10 team, right?

Wow... Chris Galippo time?
