      Wife was all sad about Michigan game.  She said “hope your game goes better”.

      I said it will.  She’s like. You think?  Not even nervous?  I said yeah because USC is better.  A lot of and no. Not nervous.  USC is a lot better.

      never felt more confident about usc ucla game.  However Usc has an extensive injury list.

      That is a pretty milquetoast post there Java, you are comfortable that it will be a slaughter but if they lose it is because of all the injuries?

        No I think USCs half first string and the rest second string is better than anything ucla runs out there.  Deshaun and Cade could suit up. They aren’t winning.

        the only question is whether Nico plays.  If he does I think ucla can take the game to the 4th quarter and keep it within 10 like 34-27 game.

        If he doesn’t play it’s going to be 42-17

        I will also say that if he plays, I think UCLA’s best chance is if he scrambles and runs a lot. And given his present health conditions. If I were his dad or his agent, that is the last thing I would want to see him doing today.

         

        I would certainly want to see him get at least a month of rest to his head. And with the academic load at ucla?  Sitting in class for a month in Westwood will be the perfect rest for his brain that he needs

      Supposedly Nico will start but the game plan was prepared around Duncan, we’ll see I guess.  Duncan throws a pretty nice ball, so if UCLAs OL can hold a block for more than 2 seconds he might surprise you, especially with your issues in The secondary.  UCLAs OL coming together for a game is a pipe dream, but even Radio beat Pete Carroll in his prime, so today might just be the day.

        Stranger things have happened. And if there’s anything more convoluted than having Nico play it’s planning to play both of them.  We will see how it works out.  USC safety play is second string.  I just don’t know if against ucla that will make any difference
