As Good as Advertised?
As I said in an earlier post, we did not see a dominating running game in USC's first game, so it is hard to predict what the running game will look like for them. It is possible to O-line is still trying to find itself, as it only returns one starter. I wouldn't say the running game for USC is weak, but outside of showing four guys that can run the ball, they did not show that the running game will dominate as it has in years past. I also mentioned earlier that the returning receivers only accounted for half of the team receptions last year, so there may be some questions still remaining about the receiving game. Sanchez looked great against Virginia, but then again is Virginia as good as people believed? Last week Virginia struggled against Richmond, only leading 3-0 at halftime, they scored only one offensive touchdown which was in the fourth quarter, and scored a TD off an interception. I still think USC needs to play a few more games before we can say they are the best team in the country. Lou Holtz criticized the always annoying Mark May, by saying you can't fall in love with a girl after one date, just like you can't fall in love with a team after one game.
