USC versus Ohio State Halftime Thoughts

So, this "game of the year" is just about to become a blowout, if Southern California keeps going at this rate. The Trojans look really unstoppable right now. As for Ohio State, would Beanie Wells really have made that much of a difference?

Who knows? But it's close, kind of. A few thoughts.
  • Terrell Pryor isn't playing like a freshman. Maybe Jim Tressel is managing the game for him, but so far, the Buckeyes offense looks better with Pryor in the game.
  • Speaking of that other quarterback, for someone who played in the BCS title game last year, Todd Boeckman looks like he's overwhelmed.
  • Like I said, Beanie Wells wouldn't have made too much of an impact, unless he could play on the defensive end and stop Joe McKnight.
  • The USC student section is kind of cocky and arrogant What a fucking surprise from a school like that. They were chanting "overrated" before the first half was over. Will karma come back to bite them in the ass? Maybe not in this football game, but, their degrees from 'SC might be "overrated."
  • It is scary to think that this Trojans team can be better than the one that had Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart. This team is just so deep. So far, the USC offense reminds me of the Argentina soccer team's attacking abilities. Just way too fast. Way too scary. Way too creative. And they can strike from anywhere on the field.
  • James Laurinaitis and Rey Maualuga are as good as billed
  • Penalties are drive killers.
More to come at the end of the game.
