its all good, I sometimes like watching defensive minded sec teams play too

USC has been down two starting receivers and a backup receiver who usually gets played the past few weeks. However, they had a bye this past weekend which gives their receivers two weeks to rest up.
Mark my words: If you're basing USC's strength on their performance over their last three games, you will be shocked at how well they do in their next game.

Um, forgetting about Syracuse (almost beat Iowa in 2OT) and Maryland? They are much closer to the patheticness (yes I made up that word) that is AZ State and UW. USC would not, could not, and not in million years stop the speed of WVU's offense (4 WR/QB/RB that run 4.42 speed or less). Even though they did study Rodriguez's spread offense in Morgantown in the offseason.
IIRC, Iowa was decimated by injuries for that game.
Do you follow college football in general or just WVU?

You keep bringing this up...people studying another offense is really no big f'ing deal. That's like making a big deal because a team that historically plays a 4-3 defense studies and switches to a 3-4. BFD.
They destroyed the defense of the SEC champions last year.
I am a huge Michgan fan (duh), and I wouldn't want to see WVU. Michigan's run D has been awesome all year and they have shut down some good backs, but Slaton and White would worry me.
This is a new year. Last year's bowl results have no bearing on the current state of the teams.
Now go away or I'll stop praising Michigan and go back to insulting your team in the goofy looking helmets.

what makes you think wvu and their defense can stop steve smith and jarrett (if they are both healthy).

Name EXACTLY who was injured aside from Tate. Ever heard the saying, one man a team does not make? They had Sims and Young, their starting backs. They had their best receiver (TE Chandler). To have to use a goal line stand versus SYRACUSE in 2OT is absolutely pathetic, and the notion that you would even blame the game on "injuries" is hilarious. The B Team should have trounced Syracuse, they are the whipping boy of the Big East. Iowa is overrated and WVU would absolutely destroy them at Mountaineer Field. Hell, Iowa lost to freaking INDIANA who is ranked even lower than SYRACUSE on Dullard's list (61 vs 67). Now I have to ask, do you follow college football in general or just Iowa?

Me? I don't even really follow Iowa.
I'll concede the Tate injury but that would also explain the 4 INTs you made a big deal about...the Indiana game, hell I have no idea. But you thinking they wouldn't even last on the same field as WVU is ludicrous.

All I read was that you called UW "pathetic". They're .500 right now and almost beat USC and Cal. Until UWV wins a national championship, has 27 straight non-losing seasons, and has a more respectable bowl history...please STFU about Washington. They haven't come close to accomplishing what they have.

I love people like you who live in the past... are you sure you don't go to Notre Dame, Alabama, or USC? Nobody gives a crap about your 27 seasons and championship, all that matters is that WVU and OSU have the longest active winning streaks in the nation.Originally posted by: BlancoNino

IF Washington wanted to earn some respect, they shouldn't have lost to Oregon State and needed a last quarter extra point block to barely beat the mighty Fresno State. A 2-3 record in your conference is nothing to write home to mom about, although a .500 season is much better than finishing 2-9 like last year.
Even though it's one of the only ways you have to compare teams that haven't played, comparing stats/scores of common opponents is usually an exercise in futility. Here's an example:
WVU beat E. Carolina 27-10 (17 point victory)
Tulsa beat E. Carolina 31-10 (21 point victory)
BYU beat Tulsa 49-24 (25 point victory)
Is Tulsa better, or even as good as, WVU? Is BYU 29 points better than WVU? No way on both counts.
You can find dozens of such examples easily. So while it maybe entertaining to compare stats and common opponents, some of you guys need to realize that what happened in one game is usually no gauge for how another game will turn out. So all this talk about who did what to Iowa, or what WVU did to Georgia (last season no less!!), etc... is ultimately pointless.
Thanks for listening.

Good job on picking & choosing your battles. Still avoiding the Michigan question?

we'll see how close wvu gets to usc's 34 game win streak that was active till end of last season, this is not too far back in the past right, or if wvu's home streak comes close to usc's current 30 home win streak.
The last 2 years are a result of coaching changes, injuries, players leaving, and overall confusion due to the firing of Neuheisel.
And actually people DO give a crap about all of that. I'll admit Washington has had to rebuild over the past couple years because of all the changes, but that doesn't mean they are "pathetic".

So Smith and Jarrett are both Heisman hopefuls? For example, if Troy Smith or Quinn or Slaton went down then you could pull the injury card. I don't think you can give a player that much respect unless they are getting Heisman votes. Also, when's the last time a WR won a Heisman? Don't get me wrong, I think they're talented, but I don't think you can play the injury card in this case.Originally posted by: kalster
