The Judge said:
What is ?amazing? about giving up 19.5 points and 335 yards per game? What is amazing about allowing Hawaii to rack up 437 yards on offense or giving up 347 yards passing to Arizona State? Is it amazing that USC held a 2-8 Washington team to 24 points or a 3-7 Arizona team to three touchdowns?
Yeah, that NFL caliber, defensive "genius" has done "amazing" things at SC.
:nono: :nono: :nono:
LETS LOOK AT FACTS TO MAKE YOUR POST LOOK RIDICULOUS! STUFF YOU CAN'T DISPUTE!
FACT #1
USC lost their #1 and #2 leading tacklers from defense to NFL/Graduation. USC lost 5 of the 7 leading tacklers to the NFL/Graduation.
Then before the season started, USC lost their #1 returning DT to grades and #1 DB to rape charges that were dropped but ecstasy pills were found in dorm, he was kicked out of school.
Then during the season, USC lost their #2 DB (thomas) to season ending knee surgery 2nd game of year. USC also lost their only returning starter early in season at LB (Sartz) for season to shoulder injury. USC lost their #1 nickleback (Ellison) to knee injury on the play where he made INT to win game against ASU. Make game winning play and get injured for year at the same time.
So for most of the season, USC has played 3 new starters at LB, 2 new starters at DB, and 2 new DT's.
USC has had to replace their 3 best LB's, #1 and #3 DB's, 3 best DT's., and #2 safety from last years defense and to injuries with this years defense.
Not impressed? Theres more!!!!!!!!!
FACT #2
Try playing 5 of your first 7 games on the road? Trying taking everyones best shot!
USC has played 4 of the current top 11 offenses in the country.
3/4 were on the road and in the 1st half the year against that young and injured defense. Lets not forget Oregon is ranked #16 total offense and they have played without their starting QB last few games. USC played against Oregon with Clemons at QB!!!!
At the time, Oregon was a top 10 total offense.
Texas has played 3 teams that average more than 30ppg while
USC played 5.
Texas has played 5 teams that average below 24ppg while
USC has played only 2.
Yet people are impressed with Texas defense? Why do people love to put down the USC defense? Does the USC D need to prove the country wrong again 4 years in a row? 3 straight years the country put down USC D prior to their BCS bowl games.
Still not impressed? Theres more!!!!!!!!!
FACT #3
USC has only played their starting defense for 4quarters twice this season. (@ND and @ASU) Every other game USC has blown their opponent by halftime or before the start of the 4th quarter. Carroll is well known for playing everybody even 3rd string and walk ons. So stats are def. skewed but it improves the USC depth and team morale!
USC also has given up a $HIT load of pts on special teams. I think USC is one of the worst ranked special teams units in the country. 1st half of the year it was dreadful but they have made improvements last 2 games. This completely skews the PPG given up by the defense. Just like special teams on offense can skew the ppg scored by an offense.
The worst scoring team in the PAC-10 is Washington who is matched by 4 of Texas opponents in scoring. Can USC fans imagine what Pete Carroll would do against a schedule like Texas played?
If USC D played in other conferences with Pete Carroll as DC, there is no doubt in my mind USC would be praised by the media for having a top 5 D in the country every single year for the last 4 years!
Still not impressed? I am questioning your intelligence now. But theres more!
FACT #4
USC is the #1 rated overall D in the Pac 10. #1 D in pts allowed in the Pac 10. #1 D in forcing turnovers in the Pac 10.
Remember, USC played ALL their tough games this year on the road. USC also plays Fresno St. and UCLA in the next 2 weeks. FSU very balanced team and physical. UCLA very explosive offensive team. 2 highly ranked 9-1 opponents. USC is tested and has passed with flying colors! Win these next 2 games and USC is ready for Texas.
You don't hear the media saying that do you? They are trying to sell that Texas can score on that USC D at will and keep up with USC offense. They also want you to think USC O will have trouble against that tough physical Texas D. They want you to get excited for the USC Texas matchup. They did this same $hit with OU over USC last year. I fell for it by hedging few grand on OU. :mj07: We clearly are hearing the same arguments made by the media for Texas that we heard for OU over USC last year. The same arguments.
YES, Pete Carroll has done a flat out amazing job with this USC defense! I would love to hear an argument countering that. LOVE TO HEAR ONE!
People are delusional and don't know the whole story. People often look solely at stats or bias against west coast. People are often proven wrong when they doubt USC!
CASE CLOSED!
