Losing Barkley is a blessing in disguise for USC and getting ND's vanilla offense also helps...B arkley was trying way too hard to prove his ability lately has the team dropped farther and farther...now we get a kid who will be more careful, manage the game and the other player will work to help their brother...and this kid has been in the program for 2 1/2 years and threw for a ton of TD's in high school at a factory school for QB's...he'll be fine...
By the same token Monte Kiffen, USC's D cordinator is living in the 90's but here comes a non-spread offense Monte, so all those star high school players you have can finally make plays...
ND's D won't lay down either...
But here's your plays-final score ND 21 USC 17...good night now and sell me on how this doesn't add up...
