USC vs. UCLA

Well, just got finished watching top-ranked USC pummel my beloved Bruins. It was just so sad to see the guys not showing up to play at all. I think they should have run more plays that took advantage of USC's defensive weakness - mainly the secondary. Also, the Bruins, from earlier games in the season, seem to respond better in a hurry-up offense. I feel that the coaching staff should have integrated more play-action pass plays to counter the Trojan linebackers and their constant blitzing.

Now UCLA I guess can look forward to the Sun Bowl while the Trojans meet up with the Longhorns in Pasadena. That national championship game is actually going to be interesting to watch.

I guess I can take solace in the fact that in my years at UCLA (1994 - 1998), I never lost to USC in either basketball or football.

There's always next year! Go UCLA!
