I don't know how tv scheduling works, but I can tell you personally that I would love to watch that game.

This includes an 11-game losing streak from early January until late February.

Losing a few key players just before the game probably doesn't help. On the other hand, I think BC players would be very psyched to play USC anywhere, anytime. It's not a big, sustainable advantage, but I think BC gets the edge in motivation, and we're going to need every edge we can get.mod10aeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009617224575563986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-57726049636381927022009-12-22T16:37:36.332-05:002009-12-22T16:37:36.332-05:00Mod,

As we've seen from our own first rate line cohesion is key for an O-Line. Hopefully this will disrupt them a little as a unit. <br /><br />I'll take any slight help we can get for this one.<br /><br />I wonder how far in advance Carrol knew these guys were gonna be out? It broke this week, but c'mon 2 of them were seniors so I doubt it was a suprise they were holding their academic eligibility together with duct tape. Might speak to USC's motivation if these guys didn't even bother to get a D so they could play in this game.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868284984927336867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-54300764078075746832009-12-22T13:53:45.847-05:002009-12-22T13:53:45.847-05:00I hope Rich and all of our seniors have a strong g...I hope Rich and all of our seniors have a strong game and a memorable experience in San Francisco against such a top opponent as USC.<br /><br />I wish Mike McLaughlin and Matt Tennant the best as well - and all of the seniors.<br /><br />Let's go, Captains - you have done a great job at BC.

This is his big break.<br /><br />Given that a second teamer at USC is a first teamer almost anywhere else, and certainly a first teamer if in ACC, we might wind up seeing some highly motivated and very talented athletes looking to make their mark against BC. Yikes. An accomplished and set first teamer might feel safe in dogging it.<br /><br />Anyway you slice it, USC is going to be a tough opponent -- the best we've seen all year -- and one that will require the very best BC has to offer. Yes, they didn't crush ND and did lose to Stanford, but still, its USC.<br /><br />Let's start by hoping we do not perform like we did against Clemson, UNC and V'Tech and let's breath a sigh of relief that we do not have to worry about keeping our bowl win streak going..

Freshman QB that struggled down the stretch loses his second best target and a senior OLineman and possibly his starting RB. Given their talent level I'm sure the backups at SC are probably starting quality anywhere else but BC's defense must be licking their chops nonetheless. <br /><br />In fact, I hope this doesn't give BC a reason to get a little cocky and blow a huge opportunity. Time to focus focus focus and play a mistake free game.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09868284984927336867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-46794375336697027912009-12-22T11:22:06.850-05:002009-12-22T11:22:06.850-05:00http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Aq2TTiI2EgYIlGUz.azJz...http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Aq2TTiI2EgYIlGUz.azJzQ85nYcB/SIG=120oih5s6/**http%3A//collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp%3FCID=1031441Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17375335026023485797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-2590311938034427752009-12-22T10:11:09.209-05:002009-12-22T10:11:09.209-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-30043400949645511892009-12-22T08:50:42.518-05:002009-12-22T08:50:42.518-05:00I don't know if anyone's noticed how quick...I don't know if anyone's noticed how quickly the betting lines moved in our favor.
