Fresno state tonight looks randy/hitting it
- Thread starter gouch
- Start date
thinking about a +13.5 first half play on Fresno.
They might hang for a half with tough D and ball control, but the offense wont be able to keep up in the 2nd half and the defense will tire causing them to fade..

sure thing 
this was a fool proof usc strategy in the first half of the season, but since the nd game , the trojans have stepped up their first half play, especially with the BCS struggle for #1.
Last few games trojans have had HEALTHY halftime leads against pac 10 opponents, Cal, Washington, WSU, and Stanford. None of these teams had anything to prove really though. Fresno will play at least one good QUARTER of defense tonight, if that happens in the first half and they can get a TD or two, they can cover the half. If not, beware. Either way, probably a better strategy than taking Fresno straight up and hoping for a miracle at the colliseum..

fwiw
while fresno is good....dont believe the bs herbstreet spouted this morning that fresno would be the third best team in the pac-10...STOP
sc
ore
ucla
are all vastly superior
fresneck is in the same class as
cal
stan
asu
ua
wsu
osu
but better than uw
while they are a good little team, fresno goes no better than .500 in the conf...beating up the losers they have is not very impressive

Like I said in my other post.....Fresno will hang because they will keep USC off of the field....THAT means they won't be tired....I like the first half bet however, I'm thinking USC if they get up will get over confident and not pull away THIS TIME. I SERIOUSLY BELIEVE FRESNO COVERS THIS ONE.....I'm 2-0 in my HUGE plays so far....and 2-1 for the day.
READ my Fresno thread....FRESNO is ready for this one....they have seen game tape and know what USC is capable of....They will come today and show up to play.
USC has been challenged once this year by a GOOD offense of NDU. expect the same thing....if they get beat its by 21 or less....And its "possible" for a HUGE HUGE HUGE upset....Remember Leinhart hasn't had the type of pressure he will have today....he's not mobile and WILL get sacked!!!!
FRESNO COVERS

there is a serious talent mismatch on the field at every position
sc will score 45+ while fresneck wont get more than 24
nd played well because they have a great offense...fresneck o is not great it is good....sc will stop the run which is when pinnegar will force things
52-21 sounds right

Yes they are mismatched....and yes USC is better no doubt...
HOWVER, when a team is pumped and a team hasn't played a big time game in a while things like talent become SHIT.....
IE...Georgia Tech Versus MIAMI
GT may win becuase they are hungry hippos
a good quote to live by: Its not the size of the dog in the fight, its the size of the fight in the dog...
Heart and determination are huge factors which I would take over talent any day.

Um, Fresno lost by 3 AT OREGON this season. So much for "vastly superior". Not saying I would play fresno though, haha
All the determination in the world isn't going to help.
This game is a mismatch.
Do you honestly think this Fresno team is anywhere near as good as some of the teams USC has absolutely destroyed?

I think some would say that's a pretty bold statement....thus far GT has shit the bed thus far...is the best way to put it and today decided to come out and FLAT out PLAY...against THE #1 defense in the nation.....
Fresneck comes to play and over rated USC looks bad in the BCS....

Honestly man this is a joke right....yeah they are the better team...
However, who has USC PLAYED..... If they played in the BIG 10 they would have at least 1 loss by now.
The only team they have beaten any good was against NDU and what happend...NDU gets screwed on a call and loses on a last second QB sneak or rush whatever....
The fact is they have not been challenged they are getting blown by girls that we dream about giving money shots too, and are not going to play BIG TIME....this is no 10 point spread.....THIS IS 24 points....Against a good team.....
Seriously man don't bet the farm USC runs away with this one.
