Message: [QUOTE="mantonio, post: 13510, member: 709"] I am sick of hearing doomsayers !!! Yes, they could get blown out, & YES, they could pull off the upset win. USC is NOT a championship caliber team anymore, & they probably will not get there while pretty boy is at the helm. The biggest problem with the defense has been discipline. The team is overpursuing & undertackling. This is all CORRECTABLE within a week of practices. Don't be surprised if the Syracuse D comes out & punches USC in the teeth out of the gate... This squad needs to come out with some toughness & swagger, not concerned about the final score, but an abiding desire to BEAT DOWN every USC player on that field. They have enough talent to stay in the game, so the deciding factor is attitude... NO FEAR !!! They shouldn't be upset if they get a few penalties for roughness, as long as they are stabbing a little more terror into the opponents head on every fresh down... [/QUOTE]
