USC defense is playing fantastic. They're holding Stewart under 5 yards per carry, ditto for Dixon, and only giving up 6.8 yards per pass attempt. You can't really do any better than that when this offense is clicking on all cylinders the way it is today. If only we'd played like this against Cal...

I agree. As I said previously, I couldn't expect USC to come out of this ridiculous stretch of games winless, but the fact they are coming together on defense is nice.

Manaluga and Cushing coming back this week has meant so much. We are still missing our offensive line a lot though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

And PS: We still have a chance. CMON offense!

I have really tried to hold back my hope for the season, but in all seriousness now...

National Championship contender?

No question at all that we're a contender, but there's still a lot that has to happen. We'll get a better idea of how difficult of a test ASU is likely to be when they play Cal tonight, @UCLA is still a very dangerous game, and did I mention that we haven't beat USC yet? Plus we need at least one or two other teams to lose still.

I would say the absolute best case super-homer odds of playing in the title game are about 15% right now. Realistically it's probably somewhere in the 5-10% range. Still, entirely possible, and certainly worth hoping for. Go Ducks!!!
