USC @ Arkansas...
- Thread starter DeadPrez
- Start date
Thanks for your opinion JohnnyB on the CAL game....I'll be following you in the Pac-10 this season!
Losing McFadden definitely hurts them, but they do have two other proven backs in Felix Jones and Peyton Hillis. They will also be running behind a strong line. Marcus Monk is an unbelievable WR for them. However,.....
Alot of people are on Arkansas's side early. What they don't know is that their starting QB, Casey Dick, is having back problems. His recent MRI was negative, however he still isn't practing. That leaves them with redshirt junior, Robert Johnson. Johnson has some experience, but lost the job to Dick last season.
Dick is expected back in a few days, however he has lost valuable time during the spring & summer. The QB position is an open race until Houston Nutt sees Dick practice. If Dick struggles, the fans will want to see phenom Mitch Mustain.
Even I don't think Houston Nutt is dumb enough to play the freshman against USC. Pete Carroll will eat him alive.
Let the public continue to push this line down based on USC losing Bush, Leinhart, and White. USC's backups from last season would have started at Ark. Carroll will just reload and dismantle Ark.
It's as low as 7.5 at the Palms as of today. Let it get down to 6.5-7 and get on the USC side.

I can't see this getting as low as 7. I think its bottomed out. I went ahead and took it at 8 thinking it might start heading back up as cappers started coming back around.
Arkansas is a novelty wager everyone wanted to try getting credit for bringing out to the public. Arkansas' public juice is 90% McFadden, 10% Monk and O-line. With Arkansas' current situation, that's just not enough.
As much as I want to see the SEC put the PAC10 in its place, this isn't the time.
USC 45 Ark 24.

FYI
Brandon Hancock, USC's 5th year senior starting fullback tore his ACL & MCL, so he is out for the season.
Add more holes to fill in SC's backfield.

It is southern Cal tho and their depth is unmatched. Always hurts to lose a 5th year senior and all of that experience
