USC was one of those games we lost of the last seven and one would say their roaster is loaded with talent sitting behind talent yet we didn't exactly get curb stomped like the roster differences would indicate. I'm not saying we're all fine and dandy but I don't think we're hurting nearly as bad as some would assume nor are we sitting as well as some would like to assume. I'd say we're more in the middle with some thin areas to fill.
USC was last season and we had one of our all time greats at running back. You can't compare last year to this year.
You obviously don't pay attention. USC's roster is extremely thin because they have been on probation. They have high end talent, but little depth after that. Now you start to understand why some people that pay attention have bitched about Bo for years now. Nebraska has basically been on probation just like SC, Penn St, etc...
