For what it is worth, USC only had 2 sacks on 30 dropbacks, a rate of about 6.7%.  They had 3 TFL on 24 running plays, which is actually a worse ratio (12.5% of running plays went for negative yards).  I don't think CFB keeps track of hurries, but from that perspective, pass blocking wasn't atrocious.  Compare that to the 7 (if memory serves) sacks that UW had against us last year, and the improvement is more than from a F- to a D+.

We are allowing 2 sacks/game this year.  That compares to 2.6 last year.  Of course in 2009, we allowed 6 sacks.... all year!
