USC v. Stanford. 14-14.
Here's the problem: USC defense. Wrap up, guys! You can't just tap a guy on the shoulder and expect him to fall down. You've gotta wrap up and drag him to the ground.
So why is USC missing this? Because they had no contact all summer. When you don't hit in practice, you get used to tapping a guy on the shoulder and expecting him to stop. That's not the way it works during the season!
Who's doing well?
Havili. He's getting yards and he fights for them.
Why does he have so much success? Because he doesn't go down. Even when he gets flipped around by the defender, he keeps fighting. He back-pedals and picks up extra yards.
Barkley. He's threading needles with his accuracy in passing. Sure, there have been some missed throws, but can you complain when his pass completion is well over 60% (65.9% to be exact)? And he's continuing to improve.
