Bush needs to start practicing his speech.

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

Wow, almost another pick for Fresno St. That guy is a gun-SLINGER

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

hello, excitement

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

Fresno State ties the game! Upset brewing!

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

where's kyro? his boys are closing in on a NC berth.... wow

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

I still think USC will win, but Fresno State has a damn good chance of upsetting one of the best teams in the country.

Reggie Bush is still the best RB in the country, and Fresno State needs to stop him.

USC might as well put Bush in as QB to pump his numbers more.

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

Go for 2 here? I think that's the best idea with an offense like that and only 6 min left to go.

SC finally puts the game away. Tough one.

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

That was extremely dissapointing.

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

Wow, what a game. SOOOOOOOOOO close.

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

To those of you who watched the game, could you tell me why the game was so close? I don't have fox sports net up here in Canada so i've been following the game on the live update on sportsline.com.

It seems that USC's special teams was mainly at fault here? I think like 3 of Fresno's TDs resulted from USC's poor performance at special teams which lead to Fresno St having ridiculous field position.

As well, it seemed like USC wasn't able to get the important stops on 3rd and 4th down?

Anyone care to chime in?

let him throw LT(best RB at the next level, and Bush's target to dethrone) style??

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

fun game...entertaining to say the least

prediction:
USC 62 UCLA 43

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

No defense on either team.

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

That, plus Fresno State's offense is excellent, and USC's defense isn't. (well, they're decent)

If Pinegar didn't throw so many picks and make so many bad decisions, USC would have lost this game.

Cause USC is not a #1 calibur team.

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

Damn, hell of a game. We put up a good fight and played just about as well as we could. A few costly INTs (especially the one around the goalline), but Bush was too much tonight. Made a good showing, that's for sure. Lets hope we don't drop more than a couple spots in the rankings, if at all.

I'm a homer, but it was close because Fresno St. has a very good team. People will say USC is overrated or their defense sucks, but Fresno was top 5 in the nation in scoring coming into the game. We have a great offensive line (able to run effectively in the second half and Pinegar had time to throw all night), good talent at the skills position and Pinegar is going to be another NFL QB from Fresno St. I hope it doesn't become 'SC is overrated' but rather that 'Fresno St. is a damn good team'.

whoa whoa...have you seen Pinegar throw?? He makes Pennington's arm strength look like Dan Marino. Seriously, I think he just threw a knuckleball on that out rout.

I watch every game and you couldn't be more wrong. I'm not saying he has a cannon, but he has more than enough arm strength to make it. I'd rate him between Carr and Volek in terms of arm strength for Fresno St. QBs. If you're talking about the out that knocked down, please realize he was throwing it from the other hash. That had to go about 30 yards in the air and the defender barely got there.

I'm finishing up my undergrad @ UC Davis right now, but I'll probably do some grad work in Fresno.

It's really sad to know that LSU, the best team in the country, won't be able to play for the national title. Their defense can shut down any team and they have enough offense to move the ball on USC, because any offense can with that battered up secondary.

Too bad we pay attention to that whole "win-loss" overall record thing.

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

Huh? I find it hard to believe that it's possible for "the best team in the country that can shut down anybody" to blow a 21 point lead at home and lose vs. a mediocre team.

That was one early season game with a new coach. Look at the LSU team now and don't tell me that they cannot beat USC and their porous defense. LSU's team speed can CONTAIN Reggie Bush.

LSU wins 24-10.

This is the funniest thing I've read in awhile. LSU got a "gift TD" in week 1 against Arizona State. Then the next week they blow a 24-7 lead after 3 quarters, to a "powerhouse" Tennessee offense at home! It's a good thing they will get the Big East champ in the Sugar Bowl.

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

What about the ASU game? I know they had to fly out there on short notice, but didn't the refs help them win that game?

I'm supposed to be impressed that the supposed 'national champs' can barely beat a WAC team and some scrub PAC 10 team? Paul Pinnegar looked awful special tonight, I'm not sure he put up 42 point efforts in high school or against a high school team right now.

LSU's defense would maul pretty boy Leinart. I'd love Reggie Bush's 'speed' to be matched with an actual defense. Last I looked the WAC didn't still have Marshall Faulk in his prime.

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

Im not a USC fan at all. Im fairly sure the 33 wins in a row speak for themselves.

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

I wouldnt make fun of WAC schools either, its better than scheduling Appalachian St., and North Texas.

Re: ****Official Fresno St. Upset USC Thread******
 

Texas anyone? That team hasn't come close to losing a game since OSU, one of the top 10 teams in the country, top 5 in my book. They blew out a top 20 TTech unit by 35 points. They beat Colorado by 25.

LSU can beat USC, but USC's a better team. LSU's offense won't be able to get 20+ points on USC, and USC can score 30 points on anyone.

Funny, don't know if you watched the game but they talked about how Fresno was trying to schedule LSU but they said no. They then went and added Appalachian St. to the schedule.

A thread a while back in these forums talked about how LSU, Alabama, and Auburn all schedule scrubs for their non conference games in order to make it seem like they have amazing defenses.

During the game they said Fresno tried to play them, but LSU said no and instead picked some scrub a good high school team could beat.

I dont care about USC or LSU, but the article made a lot of sense and im pretty sure USC would crush LSU. Also Fresno played above their level. They played the best they could play and they lost, how about giving them a bit of credit. This was a team that lost to Oregon who USC crushed and yet they gave USC more problems than Oregon.

One last thing when LSU plays some real out of conference teams like USC did, Notre Dame anyone? Then LSU, Auburn and Alabama can whine, but first they have to play some real teams.
