Since I posted comments from Joel Klatt yesterday, let’s remember what he said on August 20th about USC.
How did it hold up?

The “Get rid of Wiley’ chant is similar to the ‘Get rid of Helton’ chant when SC was “forced” to keep Helton at least in part due to financial considerations, and the buy-out for Wiles is probably through the roof so he is SC’s coach through thick and thin

Since Pete, the USC job seems to be snakebit:
Kiffin now coaching #9 Mississippi
Sarkisian now coaching #1 Texas
Coach O won a natty at LSU
Riley won 85% of his games at OU, now looking like the second coming of Helton
Yes, Kiffin grew up, Sark sobered up, and the village idiot is still the village idiot, but still, it doesn’t seem the job brings out the best in the guy who takes it.

Scooter,
Not once this season have you mentioned the lack of sacks or why they are having problems sacking the qb. Is it because they don’t have enough dlinemen, or is it because of the scheme or both? We gots to know.
