UCLA vs. USC 2007

7 months ago :: 543 Views
Sure, the Trojans beat the hell out of the Sun Devils.  But that doesn't erase the fact that USC still lost to lowly Stanford.  USC is still capable of laying an egg this Saturday against the Bruins of UCLA.  It all depends of which USC team shows up at the L.A. Coliseum.  There is not one player on the UCLA football squad who would be a starter at USC. But still the Trojans lost at home to an even less talented Stanford team.  If UCLA plays a great game and USC continues to make mental mistakes then the Bruins might have a chance to win.  Nevertheless, most cognescenti expect the Bruin Bear Cubs to be dismembered on Dec. 2.  UCLA has not seen a defense as punishing and as fast as USC since the last time these two teams met in 2006.  The Trojan offense is finally playing with consistency, and the two best high school football players in the nation last year, Ronald Johnson and Joe McKnight, continue to improve with each passing week.  Once the USC wideouts acquire confidence, no defense will contain them.  Hazelton, Turner, and  Ausberry are big, fast, strong receivers.  Throw in tight end Fred Davis and fullback Stanley Havili and you have the ingredients for an unstoppable passing game.  Coach Pete Carroll will be out for Bruin blood to avenge last year's debacle.  The Trojan offensive line is getting back to full strength.  USC vs. UCLA should be a mismatch.  My prediction:  USC 53, UCLA 17.
