The Oline is what it is.. if anything  this year they are passing protecting better, whether thats related to the competition is yet to be seen. If we could run just a little better I think we would see even better passing as we could pass more when we want and had control of the down and distance. If we could run better we would control the clock better, probably wear down the D better and help our D too.. We may not actually score more points but have better control of the games..

I think USC with better athletes is even less worried about the passing game and it might be harder to run than that last 2 weeks.  But we have gotten rcvrs open deep 7-10 times in two games and took the shots.. Maybe this week we complete 3-4 instead  of 1-2..  that in itself could be the difference.  if they sell out to stop the run we get more 1on1 chances.. They could also feel they can stop the run with the front 7 and make passing harder. I think as long as they do what they have for 2 games the coaches will scheme against it. Minn moved the ball with a Fr QB.  Utah moved it with a QB that couldn't throw 25 yds down field..

even vs PSU two years ago we had our chances to score and make it a game. We missed 1-2 tackles and a bad TO from staying in  that game late.  I would like to think we are better and I really think USC is not as good as that PSU team was..   Lets hope their young guys continue to make mistakes..
