08:16 AM ET 04.16 | The Matt Barkley-led offense has some catching up to do. USC is supposed to contend for the national championship in fall. As spring practice came to a close Saturday, [Barkley] was asked if the team felt like a title contender. "Based on the way they came out," he said, pointing to the defense, "it kind of does." For the most part, the defense outplayed the offense during the spring game at the Coliseum. The majority of spring camp unfolded that way as well. ... [The defense] is deeper and more experienced than at any time since Lane Kiffin became coach in 2010. "I think we can do some special things this year," said senior cornerback Isiah Wiley, who broke up five passes Saturday.

Is that a bad thing? Defense wins championships, or at least that appears to be the prevailing philosophy.

Its bad luck to be picked number one in preseason polls. Just saying.

Also doesn't seem 100% justified considering possible depth issues. Somewhere from 3rd to 8th seems about right to me for USC pre-season, given that we didn't get to see them against a good bowl opponent (and they also didn't get the pre-bowl practices).
