Wow, this was underwhelming. So much to criticize. What happened to the breakaway tailbacks? Where is Boobie Feaster? A 42-yard pass completion on Kennedy Urlacher. What have I said about the secondary? I always think maybe I am wrong and the fanboys were right with their relentless offseason hype. But after watching the first half, USC is about what I expected. Todd Blackledge is having … Continue reading USC-San Jose State Live Blog
