Like everyone else around here, I am getting very psyched up for College and Pro Football Season to start. The first taste of real action happens this weekend when USC takes on V. Tech on Saturday. I have been breaking this game down for a couple of weeks now and here is what I have found so far.
USC has a heisman trophy type QB in its backfield but is he that GOOD or is it b/c of who he has around him. If Mike Williams is re-instated (which is a good possibility) then he is getting even more help then he would have had. The running game for USC is a 3 headed monster. These guys would all be starters on most teams but here they will splilt the load which means someone is always fresh. The WR are unproven behind Williams but they have shown flashes of brillance. The big question mark for the Trojans is the O line. This is the weak link on Offense and is why they won't repeat as Co-National Champs. The right side of that line is in big trouble. On Defense the Trojans need to replace their two top DE. While they also need to replace both Corners but they do return both safties. USC will have great special teams due their depth. The coaching is top-level and most of the assitants are returning. Overall ten starters need to be replace but still a whole lot of talent!
V. Tech will have Randall starting at QB and their will be no dobut it will remain that way with Marcus Vick suspended. Randall was great the first 6 games last year but struggled BIG TIME the rest of the way. Tech also loses All-World RB Kevin Jones but a big time high school recruit is stepping in. Tech also loses its starting FB from a year ago and the WR corp is a BIG question mark. They also lost their starting C and G from the O-line. The Tackels on the line are very strong!! On defense the Hokies are replacing both DE. Thier LB corp is the strength of this their D. Their secondary could be in HUGE trouble. Last year the CB starting opposite of Dangelo Hall was burned A LOT. This year Hall is not their to cover up the other side of the field. This team has great Special Teams as well, which is do to the coaching more than talent. The Hokies do have a new PK.
Hope this helps!!!! Will have my choice on Saturday. Good luck!!
