If Stanford didn\'t have "your deal" I would think the game would be a likely win. Â Stanford could still win, but even if the USC season has fallen apart that team will still come with their very best.
USC was really, really motivated for that Hawaii game. Â And yet they allowed 36 points to a mediocre WAC team. Â The efforts to avoid injuries in the practices were mentioned constantly, so maybe the USC D gets tougher next week. Â Trouble for SC was that they also looked slow. Â One would think that the D\'s speed will not improve.
The USC offense also got about 21 points on big plays that would just not happen against SEC, Pac-10/12 or ACC type teams. Â
USC is USC, so everyone will talk about them going 13-0 or 12-1. Â I think the team I watched is more likely to go 9-4 or 8-5.
