| ESPN's: USC's place in History
Okay..I'm sure that you all know what this is. ESPN with Mark May and Kirk Herbstreit were ranking USC with the "top 10" (but not so...) teams in college football history. I have a few problems with this.
First, how in the world do you figure that this 05' Trojan team is one of the best teams in college football history? They HAVENT won yet, they still have the all important national championship game against a Texas team that I think will beat them. How can we judge how good they are when their season isn't over yet? How is one of the "'best teams'" ever struggling to beat Fresno State and having to make a last play effort against Notre Dame.
Secondly, win or lose this week against Texas..they still aren't the best USC team of their run. The 04' Trojans are much better than these Trojans. They had the light swtich offense AND a solid defense.
Finally, ...now I'm not going to be biased..well yea I proabaly am..But Kirk picked the 95' Huskers to lose to 05 USC.. Are you SERIOUS? The 95' Huskers were the most dominate team in college football history.. Winning each game by an avg. margin of 39 pts while racking up 600 yards of offense (400/gm rushing) and putting out one of the fiercest defenses ever...Tommie Frazier, Amham Green, Lawrence Phillips, Grant Wistrom...You can't honestly tell me that USC would beat the 95' Huskers. The power game and option attack would pick apart USC's shabby defense and the Blackshirt defense would hold their own agaist that duel-headed monster of USC's offense.
Ugh..I know that a debate like this will never end and can never be proven...but come on!  |
