USC has personnel issues besides McKnight.

SI.com

While USC is preparing to be without McKnight, the Eagles are practicing this week assuming McKnight will be on the field Saturday night.

...

USC is also without three other key players, who were declared academically ineligible on Monday. Tight end Anthony McCoy and tackle Tyron Smith, both starters, and defensive end Averell Spicer, a key reserve, will not play against Boston College.​

No McKnight? What's the big deal if they have to vacate an Emerald Bowl win?

Plausible deniability.

They can't claim they didn't know there was a potential problem when they used him, so if they do and he's busted the consequences would likely be harsher than vacating a prestigious Emerald Bowl win.

Both teams offenses have been sucking and both can play decent defense so I took a small rcash position on the under (45.5) and thereby guaranteeing all the over backers a successful wager.

You are welcome.

I was too scared to pick what happens as USC is fully capable of showing up and destroying BC or mailing it in but even if they mail it in BC can't score much so who fucking knows. Probably a USC beatdown of BC but hopefully not.

BC just looks silly out there, no talent comparison at all.

IMO the Trojans got a little help on the Williams catch, I thought he was clearly out of bounds before he made the catch. Regardless, BC doesn;t need to be on the same field.

1. That Williams catch was BS. He was out of bounds.

2. USC is going to win this game and look impressive. People are going to get onto the USC hype train again, and Barkley for Heisman.

3. How did we lose to USC? AGHUGFHJHF!!!$%#... They cant tackle :/

Unfortunately you are correct, bowl matchups are by recrods. BC may not have anywhere near the talent of USC; however, they are still cracking helmets with each tackle they make. Good to see a matchup of hitting where a flag isnt thrown every two seconds for some p***y call.

Oh jeez how you are so right!! They win here and the NC talk will start again, and Barkley will win the Heisman tonite!

And SERE, I agree with the hitting and no penalties, but clearly you can see such a talent difference. This TD drive was sheer will.
