i thought USC at least matched us physically in that game and probably outplayed us there..I think we would win the hypothetical rematch in LA, but it would probably be close. I agree we do take something out of teams with that physicality, but it takes something out of us too. That aint a 1 way street.
November meltown is irrelevant at this point. Not that we arent in danger of dropping one of these next 3, but those meltdowns were usually a result of a lack of depth to maintain given injuries. The offense always had underlying deficiencies or weaknesses that manifested in November (while defense was the inuries and depth). Those deficiencies arent there with this team and theres definitely more depth. Theres still a few injuries we cant afford (TH/ZM/an LB) but those would come into play in Dec/Jan, not Nov.
Arizona and Colorado are the two worst teams in the p12 per sagarin. Theres some Tuscon late in the season ptsd there, but those should be wins even if the “worst case scenario” comes into play. UCLA will probably be a 2TD underdog, but they are putting it together. Thats a losable game if we dont put a decent+ game together
