Reply To: USC vs Oregon is Biggest Game of Weekend

Good lord you people.  You all act like you’ve never built anything.

 

Trajectory for the D is upward.  O is solid and will continue to be so.  Talent level is headed int he right direction.

 

Does USC have the depth and talent of UO?  Nope.

 

Coaching?  It’s getting there, I would say USC has plenty of quality staff.

 

Is UO a tough place to play?  Yes.

 

USC was 3-4 years behind UO at the beginning of this year.  Maybe last.  They’ve made up some ground.  Not that UO has slipped.  This recruiting class will make up more.  And the more time existing roster has with this USC staff the more that edge dissipates too.

I think there’s not much more to do with the staff.  Kids coming on campus don’t magically become superstars as freshmen.  So I think they are another couple years from that gap being eliminated too.  But I don’t think it’s awful or end of the world.  Just need to continued this trend and in 26 or 27 you’ll have a couple top 5-10 programs with a pretty fair and reasonable matchup.  USC just isn’t there yet.
