I think Marlon is a decent dude. Nothing I've read over the past few years suggests otherwise.
He just got caught up in the web of recruiting and being the prime piece of meat in the middle.
How about this: He lied, hid like a little bitch, then refused to take Malloe and Pete's calls after he told them he was all Dawg.
In the context of his family situation (as i've read it) i'm not surprised at that avoidance behavior.
This is a 17 year old kid in high school man.
Adults on a college football fansite touching the dregs of humanity (hi hardcore husky!) can't realistically expect teenagers to act like wizened adults.
yeah, I wished he followed through with UW and was anchoring this defensive line ... but it is what it is. He got caught in the middle of snake oil salesman and immigration promises and coffee cups and all that good stuff. You think a 17 year old is gonna make what we think is the "right" decision? Legally, he's not even a damn adult yet.
Marlon could have walked away from Peterman but he also chose to embrace him. I think if he could turn back the clock without restraints he would have been a Husky.
Let it go guys ... and celebrate that we have Tuli, Taki, Latu, Bandes, Tuitele, Heimuli, Paama!, Noa ... it's gonna be an awesome ride ...
Loosing him and Kaho probably the difference between College playoffs and Toilet bowl this year
Maybe, but it’s really the offense. Offense and coaching we’re the real reason we lost against Cal. The drops were ridiculous. Defense was terrible against the run, but we still only gave up 19.

19 ought to be enough to win at home.
We should score more than 19 against anyone. I know Cal has a good d, but it’s not that good. 19 is nothing in college football, especially with Eason and the way we ran the ball.

Offense can go DIAFF but giving up 20 to a shit Cal offense at home was not expected.
Cal scored 27 against UC Davis, 23 against North Texas and 17 against Arizona State all at Berkeley.
Fuck the coaches and offense but the defense struggled just as much especially on Cal's last drive,

Losers lose.
No arguments. The defense was really bad the whole 2nd half. I can live with Gordon’s PI and giving up a catch. I can’t live with teams running power and imposing their will. That’s why I’m still skeptical about this team. There are no reinforcements at LB and Cam Williams is a suspect tackler as the last line of defense.

Bingo. If SC commits to running power all game, it's complete coin flip we win yesterday. By the end of year, we are going to be talking about 1 maybe 2 more games we "Cal'd" where the inability to stop the run will be our downfall. Utah is the game that comes to mind for me and maybe the Ducks as well.

We shut down their running game in the first half and jumped out to a big lead forcing USC to become one dimensional.
Don't really agree with this "if USC had committed to the run they would have won" revisionism.
