Southern Cal must be great

McFadden had 6 carries by halftime... The game was 3-0 USC after the first quarter.The first turnover from Arkansas was a fumble by the back-up RB Felix Jones deep in Arkansas territory... which lead to a 3 yard rushing TD for USC. 10-0 USC...

Halftime was 16-7 USC.

Do you think that if a healthy Mcfadden was playing it would have been alot closer at halftime?

3rd Quarter.... USC ball.. no score punt....
Arkansas has the ball... no McFadden in site... 3rd down int...deep in Arkansas territory.... (The Qb who started that game is now probably the last Qb on the depth chart right now)...USc drive 27 yards for a Td...

23-7 USC.

Arkansas next possession. Mcfadden has 1 carry.... got a few first downs and Punt...

USC... Ball at the 20... drove down the field for a TD...

30-7 USC.

Arkansas last possession of the 3rd quarter.... Mcfadden gets 2 carries... (and the last we heard his name called that night) punt.


4th Quarter.... still 30-7 .. USC ball..drives 73 yards for a TD..
now it's 37-7

long story short... that fourth quarter Arkansas was forced to force the ball downfield. another Arkansas int deep in arkansas territory ... USC drove 20 yards for a score.

44-7 USC

QB Change... Mustain enters the game... Long drive TD for Arkansas.

44-17 USC

Next Possession USC punts... Mustain throws int deep in Arkansas Territory... USC drvies 26 yards for a Td...

50-14.



Final...



Now... let's observe

9 carries for a back who normally needs at least 20 carries in a game of that magintude.... who was injured and didn't start. guess who was involved in the first turnover? Jones had the first fumble of the game deep in arkansas territory.. which lead to a short drive for a td for usc. We're talking about a playmaker here... who gets at least 25 carries agianst competitive teams this year... can you really tell me that arkansas's gameplan would have been the same of a healthy McFadden was on the field?

QBs? ...hmmm.. The guy who started got benched after that game and has never seen the field again.... he threw 3 ints inside the razorbacks 30 yard line... which eventually lead to 21 points.....

so... so far thats''' 28 points on turnovers inside the arkansas 30 yard line by players who are not sarting today.

Mustain came in late i nthe game when the game was over... socred a td, and threw another int deep inside arkansas 30 yard line which lead to another td...

that's 35 points off of Turnover that night deep inside arkansas's territory... so that means USC had 5 possesions inside of arkansas's 30.

Arkansas is not that same team... they have corrected their QB issues and Mcfadden is healthy...

I'll say it again... Arkansas would beat USC 9 out of 10 times if they played today.



BTW: This has nothing to do with LSU...
