I agree with you that Oregon laid out the blue print on how to shutdown the high powered Cal offense, USC's linebackers are so well displined that they might not even need to bring down the saftey to help out with the run. I personally saw midlle LB Chris Galiop play in high school as he single handley dominated my high powered tough running team (our RB is now starting over at Villanova). I know that the offense will do its thing and put up 24 points and I feel that the USC defense will hold to less than 16 points.

Good luck to everyone playing this game it will be decided in the 4th quarter watch . . .
