If Fresno State can hang with the Trojans I don't see how anyone can count out the Longhorns. Call me crazy but USC's defense doesn't impress me nearly as much as Texas's. The way I see it Texas has an advantage when it comes to the big uglies not to mention I think they are going to be playing with a much larger chip on their shoulders. Everyone and their mom is trying to call this USC team the best team that's ever played under the sun but they've yet to prove themselves the best team of 2005. Yeah, USC is good but they are going to have to do a hell of a lot more than just showing up to win.
Note* Not trying to bash Fresno State here. I gotta show the Bulldogs some love considering I was born in Fresno.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ohio State also let quite a few teams hang around with them in the NC season. I don't think that's a reason to hold against a team, especially when they are playing someone tough. I would also have to disagree with you when it comes to the "big uglies". If you look at the holes that Lendale White ran thru against OU last season and the holes that Bush ran thru this season, you would have to appreciate this nasty OL that SC has. On the other side of the ball, Texas has a very good DL. However, it gave up some major yardage on the ground to some good teams. Keep in mind they are playing Bush and White, the best 1-2 punch at RB in the game right now.
SC should not be considered a great team in history. However, the attributes that they possess this season is, unfortunately, enough to carry them over a Texas team that has not really done much besides getting lucky in the Shoe.
