USC has given up a total of 19 points in 6 home games. That is 3.2 ppg. That is absurd. I don't care if you played 6 1-AA schools, that would still be impressive. USC did this against Ohio State, Oregon, Cal, Arizona State, Washington, and Notre Dame. Ohio State looks BCS bound and Oregon, Cal, and Notre Dame are bowl eligible. If Arizona State wins this weekend then they are bowl eligible too. 19 points total! Amazing. The FG in the 4th quarter by Notre Dame is the only 3 points USC has allowed in the 2nd half in 6 home games. 3 points in 6 2nd halves total. Wow.
USC has outscored its oppenents 185-22 in the 2nd half all season. 22 points in 11 games! To break it down: USC has given up 7 points in the 3rd quarter and 15 points in the 4th quarter all season. Unbelievable. No one else in the country can say that.
USC should have at least 9 guys drafted off defense in the 2009 NFL Draft. MLB Rey Maualuga, OLB Brian Cushing, and FS Taylor Mays (JR) are sure fire first rounders. DT Fili Moala, SS Kevin Ellison, OLB Clay Matthews, CB Cary Harris, LB Kaluka Maiava and DE Kyle Moore should all hear their names called with the possibility of 5 in the first 2 rounds. Starting DE Everson Griffen (SO) could also be a 1st round pick when he is eligible.
It is a shame that we won't get to see USC play for the championship.

Losing to Oregon State wont get you a national championship.
True story
Why should losing to Ole Miss at home then get you a national championship?
People act like Oregon State is an awful program. In case you haven't noticed Oregon State has won 27 games the last 3 years and 4 straight bowl wins.
How good can OSU be? They gave up 65 pts and lost by 27 to Oregon...at home
Texas Tech gave up 65 points and lost by 44. How good can they be?
didnt LSU win last year with 2 losses? Kentucky and Arkansas?
deep down in places you dont talk about at parties, you know there is a chance UCLA beats USC.....
tell me your nervous Sports Chef?
Dwight,
No worries about UCLA. They are 110th in offense and their qb has a td to int ratio of 0-12 last 4 games. With USC's defense, I will be shocked if UCLA scores 7 points on offense.
Fight on!
The Sporst Chef is a cutie!
SEC fans seem to forget that out of the 2 programs in question here (Ole Miss and Oregon State) it is not even close, Oregon State is a far better program over the past few years and Florida lost to Ole Miss at home, not on the road.
