At Phoenix- Arizona State 43 Southern Cal 22 This game was like watching the Germans and the Russians going to war with each other. I kept rooting for the illegal aliens to invade and take over everything. All week long the Trojan players held news conferences announcing that the Sun Devils were the dirtiest team in America with the dirtiest individual player: Vontaze Burfict. They threatened retaliation if he attempted any funny business and they claimed that they were practicing taking some cheap shots themselves. This is kind of like Paris Hilton threatening to take off her clothes, because her friends are a bad influence on her. The result was an ugly slugfest on the Colorado River that didn't have many clean plays. USC safety T.J. McDonald was called for not one; not two; but three unsportsmanlike cheap shots and Little Kiffin didn't even talk to him. Now that I think about it, Dennis Erickson didn't talk to Burfict either. In a battle of the two West Coast Evil Empires, USC discovered that you can't crawl under the belly of a snake. Nobody was fooling anybody in this one and the Trojans went home crying...
And Cindy wagered 3 points on Kiffiecakes. If not for that, she would have beaten me this week. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I watched the first half of the game and was shocked at how ordinary USC looked against a AzSt team that lost to Illinois last week. Matt Barkley and Marc Tyler both 5* studs looked ordinary. Even the weather was against the Trojans with that freak dust storm. I hate to root for any team coached by Dennis Erickson, but then this was USC so I swallowed hard and pulled for them.
