Southern Cal must be great
Arkansas pounded the Vols today 31-17. The Vols pounded Cal 35-18. Cal pounded Oregon State 41-13. Oregon State beat USC 33-31. If only it worked that way.
Jim, the Broncos lost to the Rams in week 1 and the game wasn't even close. Do you think if they played again tomorrow the outcome would be the same?
The Patriots lost to the Bills 31-0 in week 1 a couple years ago and in the second game the Pats killed them.
Teams change over the course of a season, especially the teams that are young or don't have a lot of experience.
I promise you if those two teams played again it would be different. I would even think Arkansas would win but at the very least the game wouldn't be another USC blowout.
