SoCal, perhaps you should do some more research before making flippant comments about 18 year old kids. It had been reported, albeit unofficially, that Berry's charges would be reduced, a few days before your post. Had the timing of your comments been only slightly earlier (before he graduated), you likely would have earned a temp ban. You may want to review the forum rules concerning bashing players, and the special rules regarding recruits. This board has different standards than others, and the "I didn't know" defense won't get you any sympathy.
We're all aware of USC players stroking themselves after last year's win, it's been discussed here at length. We're also aware that Saine is faster than Boom, but that doesn't change the fact that Brandon's 2008 rushing total was only 13 yds more than Boom vs. the Trojans. No matter how valid your points may be, when they are mixed in with snide comments like "I don't think Herron will be any kind of factor", and "the gameplan (witness 08' Coliseum) is pathetic", it will reap a similar response. And, yes, people will misrepresent what you said to make you look like a fool. If you're really here for dialogue, word your posts in the same tone you'd like to see in the responses. Reasonable USC fans would be a welcome addition to the conversation, but trash talking only begets more trash talking. If you want to be part of the convo leading up to the big game, move past this and make some insightful posts, sans the insults. If you do, all will be forgiven (well, maybe except for BUCKYLE).

In NCAA video games? Maybe.SoCal;1486233; said:
He hits the hole a lot slower, is more tentative, is a lot weaker in the agility/vision department. He's big and fast.
Now, he was injured for most of hte last two years, so we're excited to see what he can do this fall, but having watched every one of their games, I don't remember a time where Saine outclassed Herron at the RB position. Quite the opposite in fact.
Name the game where he was more impressive.
That doesn't change how they are executing now... and it certainly doesn't make him a useful option for taking the ball out of Pryor's hand in the gun.
If you're going to put it out there, you've got to be ready for people to come back at you about it.

Putting in PDX
honestly, saying that saine in the wildcat would hold off the blitz doesn't make sense to me. much like strategies last year against boeckman, who actually has an arm, if i saw saine in the shotgun i'm sending everyone. a player that has ran tentatively in the past, and who can't beat you with his arm doesn't warrant half the respect that you would give to pryor, who can make you respect the passing game, and has proven he can beat you with his feet; blitz or not, as he showed at times in this matchup last year.
it's not a knock on saine, but by no means is he a qb. seeing bauserman under center with pryor at wideout wouldn't be as surprisng as we saw something like that in the fiesta bowl. but as jwins said, he doesn't have the reps to play wide out, and you're still taking the ball out of arguably your best playmakers hands.
i also find it interesting (and hilarious) that according to the "gameplan" usc needs to stay conservative at first, yet will still find a way to score at least 4 touchdowns, 4 four extra points, and a fg on the road, in a hostile environment with new oline and qb, while only giving up 10 (15's prediction, SoCal said a "low-scoring" game) points with an entirely new lb corp. of course usc will come to play, but to think tOSU won't even show up (the undertone in 15's 10 point prediction) is farfetched. this is not bucknuts. we expect respectful, intelligent posts, which we do get from other teams posters. you won't find me bashing usc and posting ridiculous "gameplans" on wearesc or any other trojan message boards. we look for the same.

That's great! Now, if you'd bring us a shrubbery; make that two shrubberies, so we can get a two-level effect, with a little path running down the middle. Then, cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with...a herring!
Oh, and bring beer. Lots, and lots of beer. Thanks in advance.

People seem to forget we moved the ball on SC in the first couple of drives and woulda been up by a couple of scores if it wasn't for some misscue's...
I really don't think SC fan's know how good this offense can be with Pryor running it. Also they forget a certain first round running back that didn't play last time around.

I dont think the pass rush will have a drop off at all. Actually, I think it will be better than last year. Everyone seems to think that SC 's LBers will be hard to replace, but I think people will be VERY surprised at the new group. The D will be more solid than expected IMO.Buckeneye;1486021; said:
My game prediction is a great game that should be closer AND better than last year. No way I will try and predict a score! Just a good, injury free game.
