it's a rather intriguing class at this point...obligatory 'awful warm for february' comment.

Did you go to the scrimmage? If you did, you learned a lot.
Here’s what I heard from fans and also thought myself:
- The secondary was atrocious. I can’t recall too many plays where the cornerbacks were in a position to break up a pass or do anything positive. The wide receivers were always open. USC is young at cornerback but this was one of the worst group efforts I can recall in a fall scrimmage situation. - This is going to be a season-long problem. -Not only were receivers open, there were a lot of pass-interference penalties. -The running game was almost non-existent. USC’s QBs could pass at will but the run-blocking was subpar and it didn’t seem like USC was committed to running, a complaint I told you I heard about Graham Harrell at North Texas. The pass blocking was better. -A highlight was punter Ben Griffiths‘ 58-yard kick. I guess he will be a team star this season. -Frankly, I didn’t see any super-dynamic aspect to this offense but it was just a scrimmage. -What about the quarterbacks? All of them had their moments. Freshman Kedon Slovis completed the most deep passes but a lot of them were underthrown and completed because the coverage was so bad. -The funniest play was when the ref signaled JT Daniels was sacked before he released a deep pass. Of course, the pass was caught for a TD over two defenders, so Clay Helton signalled to the ref to count it as a touchdown anyways. Wonder if he would have done that for Matt Fink?

They are so fucked when they play us?. All offseason I had heard that Harrell's Air Raid was more balanced than Leach's, so they wouldn't run into the same issues against UW's defense.
Nope. Same old Air Raid. They'll put up points on everyone except Cal who models UW, and they are going to get ass raped when they play us in September.
I didn’t expect the Coliseum to be game ready. But I expected it to be scrimmage ready. And it was not Saturday.
Look at the pictures below: Nails coming out of the ground. An electrical cable going through the seats.
But the real problem was the audacity to screw over the fans by keeping the tower closed to the general public. Inspections and permits should have done well before Saturday.
Quite a few fans said they came just to see the tower. USC says it will have a tour on another day. When?
The tower was actually open to suite holders. But workers said there were only a few elevators operating. This made it difficult to get up-and-down the tower and made it an adventure to get from the bottom to the top.
One fan told me all the men’s restrooms were closed on his level of the Coliseum. There were also not a lot of concession options.
There wasn’t even a bottle of water available anywhere besides the ground floor. This meant some fans had to go down from the fifth floor to the ground for a bottle of water.
Oh, and water cost $5 a bottle.
Finally, USC announced the crowd size at 10,000. No way. USC was lucky if 7,000 attended.
