That kind of talk has dogged BC for years, and we have proven it wrong on more than one occasion, sorry.<br /><br />Well, USC v BC, this will be interesting, and yes some pass rush would be nice, as would a decrease in passes to the wrong team. Definitely going to want work the ground game and keep that not so great USC defense on the field.eagleinexilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04948677353433374291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-73526760578389717012009-12-06T18:16:35.137-05:002009-12-06T18:16:35.137-05:00Clemson will not be going GATOR.. pathetically, FS...Clemson will not be going GATOR.. pathetically, FSU is going.

However, so did FSU but we are still always nervous when we face them because they present the same problem for us. Both have immensely talented players that when they show up could wipe the floor with 90% of teams. As for Shinskie, I still see promise in him, but this will essentially be a home game for USC and well road games haven't really been his thing. Also, a lot of his problems have been mental and subpar season or not, just hearing "USC defense" has to get in his head a little.<br /><br />Go Eagles!!

They are not SuperHuman, quite the contrary, if there is anything this season has shown us, it is that they are quite human. <br /><br />Pete Caroll will not be chuckling when he watches Shinskie.
