The first major upset of 2008 is in the books.  Mike Riley must have lit a fire under the Beaver’s ass, because man did they play inspired football.  On the flip side, USC had the enthusiasm of a Friday walk through practive, Jacquizz Rodgers was a man possessed behind an offensive line that kept blowing USC off the ball.  Very solid win.

Now, USC will have to remain perfect for a shot at the National Championship, which they are more than capable of doing. The one thing I learned about these Trojans is that they weren’t ready to be #1. It is tough to be the team that everyone else circles on their schedule.  Even though they are bursting with talent USC is still a young team.  They need to mature quickly and treat each week with the same level of intensity as a bowl game, because that is what their opponents are doing.

Or else they are going to see a lot more field rushing at their expense.
