At some point in the fourth quarter, however, he asked out, ran to the sidelines and took a knee, and looked like he was ready to vomit. When you combine the lack of depth with the amount of time U$C had the ball, it was a recipe for disaster. The game really couldn't have turned out any other way.

Do you remember who the DL players were right after Phillips was subbed out?

After re-watching the game, I actually think Swann looked pretty strong and stout. He didn't play that much, but he should play more, probably for Jackson.

I think USC made it a point to challenge the 2 DL, nickel front and run the ball. It seems like they threw three receivers onto the field just to get into the 2 DL look. I'm a bit surprised that Anderson didn't either call more run blitzes out of that look, or stay with a three man line.
