[Everyone relax!] 5 reasons Sarkisian will right this ship
Fellow alumni, fans, and supporters of Trojan football...losses like tonight in the first year of a new coach are an extremely painful, but arguably necessary evil as he tries to establish his culture and get the boys to buy into the system. Nick Saban lost to Louisiana-Monroe in Year 1 -- would you have fired him then? Of course not.

1. Justin Wilcox -- He is the best DC in the Pac-12. Enough said on that. He turned UW from the 110th defense to 20th in just 1 year. Do you really think he suddenly forgot how to coach? He now has many years under his belt and will do everything possible to help our guys win games.

2. Offensive Line- They average a weight of 332 lbs across the line. They are young but have shown glimpses at how potentially they'll be ready to dominate the line of scrimmage. Tuerk, Mama, Banner, Lobendahn, Wheeler Ossai etc. These boys have the attitude and are ready to rumble.

3. Sarkisian- New high-tempo offensive scheme and new attitude. Every player has spoken about the difference between Sark and Coach O. We will see a much improved offense as we progress.

4. Depth, Depth, Depth- This is the shallowest USC team in a long time. The newbies will be inexperienced but will eventually bring something we haven't had in the past seasons, experience and depth with Sark's great recruiting.

5. Time of possession- I think USC can dominate the time of possession stat as we continue to buy in to Sark's offense. The more we can shorten the game and keep our defense off the field, the better chance we have to win the conference moving forward.

I think we turn this adrift ship rather easily, say in three years tops?
