Re: 2007 Pac 10 football thread
Look, Oregon was a great team and I was hoping they would represent the PAC-10 in the national championship game and win. They certainly are a good squad.
However I will defend USC. The running back by committee style is intentional and isn't a disadvantage. Some plays are better off with a large power back, others prefer a small fast back with good hands. We have them all, and interchange them very well. This is an advantage. Dixon is a great QB, and certainly heisman worthy, however Booty recently has been playing exceptionally well (heisman worthy too), and if the 100% healthy game were played next week, The Dixon/Stewart advantage over Booty/USC RBs is not nearly the huge gap you think it is.
I can't get into the other individual matchups because I don't know enough about the Oregon players, but we can count members of the All PAC-10 team when it comes out and then discuss from there.
