Comments on: Big plays help USC bounce back over Arizona State http://dailytrojan.com/2009/11/08/big-plays-held-usc-bounce-back-over-arizona-state/ University of Southern California Sat, 11 Feb 2012 23:14:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Fan http://dailytrojan.com/2009/11/08/big-plays-held-usc-bounce-back-over-arizona-state/comment-page-1/#comment-1449 Fan Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:44:59 +0000 http://dailytrojan.com/?p=4775#comment-1449 <p>I agree with an earlier post that a lack luster season for the Trojans is still a damn good season in many respects. I remember watching the Trojans growing up in the 80s and 90s. Back then, a 9-2 season would have almost surely meant a Rose Bowl birth and a phenomenal season. Pete truly has raised the bar and the level of expectation. Fans quick to criticize the Trojans for losing even one game need to get real. This is a young team that has experienced a number of key coaching changes in the last few years. To do what he does year after year with the constant flux the Trojans experience in personnel and coaching is quite an accomplishment. I love the energy and optimism coach Carroll brings to college football. I fear the day he decides to call it quits.</p> I agree with an earlier post that a lack luster season for the Trojans is still a damn good season in many respects.

Pete has raised the bar but what the naysayers need to realize even rebuilding witht this young talented soon to be good team he managed to beat Ohio state & Notre Dame! Not so bad! In fact pretty damn good if you ask me. I love when othwer teams loose one game and go down a few spots in the polls and when USC loses a game we go down ten spots like clockwork. Almost like there is some contempt for the Trojans and unless you win all of your games the polls look to bury us. If we are going to be the perrenial gorilla I guess we have to rule the jungle but for just once let's put our stellar performance by a very talented and very young team into perspective!</p> Amazing most teams would sign thier coaches to contact extentions if the only lost two or three games all season yet unless we win out we are less than whol.

The win wasn't typical or pretty, it looked like a one eyed boxer who finally got lucky enough to land some good punches.</p> <p>Congrats to the defense for hanging in there, as a team you need to get well and get back to work.</p> Well, USC won and the injuries before, during and after sustained by the team are really telling.

Congrats to the defense for hanging in there, as a team you need to get well and get back to work.
