Game thread: USC 66, UCLA 19 (Final)

[BB73]

Even though it would screw up our potential Fiesta Bowl with ND (which I will attend if that's the matchup), I'm pulling for UCLA to end the USC love-fest.

But I expect to be disappointed by the Bruins today.

BTW, has Drew Olson gotten amazingly little credit all year long for 30 TD's and only 3 interceptions, along with a handful of great 4th-quarter comebacks?

Looks like Reggie Bush got the memo that VY had a good game today, with 250 yards and 4 TD's on offense.

He knows he needs a good day to hold that Heisman lead.

If UCLA win, USC still gets the Pac-10 berth.

UCLA wouldnt move ahead of us in the BCS.

Wouldnt there still be 2 wild card spots left?

Yes, I just meant that it would switch the matchups. But USC would be the Pac-10 BCS rep even with a loss today.

Dan Fouts is having a real love jones for USC.

So assuming that we get a wild card spot we could be playing USC?

Please see the 'BCS chances' thread.

But no. ND would be the Fiesta's first choice. And since SEC winner gets the Sugar, and the Orange takes either the ACC or Big East winner, it's extremely unlikely we'd play USC in a BCS Bowl this year if they lost today.

God I hate USC, but Reggie Bush is amazing.

I think I am already saying goodbye to my vCash ... UCLA defense looks defenseless

That's true, but don't give up. UCLA could easily score 30 today.

Trojan D looks fired up today.

USC's winning the line of scrimmage battles so far.

Running the ball pretty easily (Bush over 100 rushing in the quarter), while giving Leinart lots of time as usual.

And they're getting a good pass rush so far.

 

[NFBuck]

UCLA better do something here, or we're gonna have another slaughter on our hands. :dead:

All right, I hate USC more even than Michigan, I think,
but Reggie Bush is... what? as good as Barry Sanders?
And he is better than Vince Young.

I heard a rumor that ABC/ESPN was going to compare Bush to Gale Sayers. But I've only seen that 5 times this week, so I might be mistaken.
