Official USC - Michigan "Rose Bowl Discussion thread"

[JoeBudden]

^Couldnt agree with u more
Michigan isnt the team that runs the hell outta the ball even tho they did do it against MSU CP had 51 carries. But Michigan can throw they got a a trio of awesome young recievers and i know USC can run they got a stable of runningbacks. Like Bill said this isnt the 70's. Both schools are good and this is gonna be a hell of a match up and my Dad and Older Brother are going to the game those lucky not calling my dad one but my Brother a lucky SOB

I Am gonna watch some tape of these two teams later in the week.

I was thinking of breaking it down from a scout's eye view if anyone is interested.

I am no way underestamating USC i think there a great team but i have a problem with people saying that its gonnna be a 17 or more point diffrence between Michigan and USC i will really be suprised if either of them go over 30 because both teams have solid d's but if they do have a shootout it would be really fun to watch. Remember if i am not mistaken Michigan the least they put up against a team was 27 i dont know the least USC has put up.

Because it's a typical viewpoint that the Big10 is simply full of slow, farm fed country boys that cannot keep up with the elite players in Florida or California. Ohio State fans heard this exact same thing before last year's Fiesta Bowl and how Miami's "Florida Speed" would run them off the field. An ESPN "anaylst" even said McGahee would get 200 yards and 3 TDs on the OSU defense. Nothing ever changes. Michigan is playing as well as any team in the nation right now and has as much talent as any team in the country. Why people think this will be a USC blowout makes no sense.

Michigan will be, without question, the best and most complete team USC has faced all year and if the Trojans think they are just going to show up and claim 1/2 of the NC then they'll get their butts kicked. They better come to play because Michigan sure will. USC is loaded. No doubt. But I think a 31-27 game is much more likely than a 45-20 USC romp.

It's sort of like the Big 10 fan's perception that the Pac 10 teams are soft and play no defense.

USC is more physical and more ahtletic than any team Michigan played this year. If Michigan shows up like they did against Oregon thinking they will just physically dominate, they are in for a shocker.

And if you saw the Oregon vs. Michigan game, the difference in speed was very apparent. To say it's not a factor is a joke, that would be like saying it wasn't a factor in USC blowing out Big 10 co-champ Iowa last year.

It cuts both ways, and I have a feeling that the Big 10 fans think USC is just a speed based soft team that plays no defense.

I don't think that USC is the most physical team Michigan will play this year. You have to take into account Iowa, Ohio State, and Purdue. Those teams are as physical, if not more physical than USC. Without a doubt USC will be the quickest team we will face all year.

Because the Pac-10 is a joke of a conference and is a cupcake skirt wearing conference...
