USC made a huge statement beating Virginia and Ohio State 52-7 and 35-3 respectively. Several questions arose regarding USC's offense: new starting QB, 4 new starters on the offensive line, and a receiving corps that came off of a mediocre 2007 season. All those questions were answered. Of course, since it is early on in the season and there are new starters, there's always room to get better.
I know only 2 games have been played, but when you take the average of those two games, USC has won their games 44-5. 5 points?!?! A 3pt field goal and a safety? WTF?!
Isn't it funny how there was so much buildup to the USC-Ohio State game and then all of the sudden it stopped?
To any Ohio State fans who criticized USC's performance against Stanford and used it as justification for their potential to beat USC, this 35-3 beatdown is especially enjoyable. When you bash the Trojans and their loss to Stanford, you have no right to make excuses when your team gets crushed by the Trojans... Of course not all Buckeye fans were talking trash like that, but for the ones who were, those fans got everything they deserved. No excuses necessary.
And it makes little difference if Beanie Wells was injured or not. USC had a 32 point win over the Buckeyes. The offensive line for Ohio State did not block well, and even though Wells is better than their other backs, he wouldn't have been able to do much with the whole SC defensive line swarming the backfield.
It's not our fault if Ohio State's coaching was bad. And it's not our fault if Ohio State got penalties; USC got just as many. It's a matter of being well-prepared for the game, and USC was.
That's pretty much it. And best of luck to Ohio State the rest of the way. And let's hope good things for USC the rest of the season.
