I am a die hard USC fan...have been for over 40 years. I have one suggestion to Pete Carroll on Joe McKnight. It seem to me that a position at wide receiver is where most of the problems in the offense for this year exist. So ...why not move JMac to this position (or Flanker) if he really has the Reggie Bush skills....and let him go. Then you can get your bigger backs to work in the running game/ pass protection to keep folks off of John David. Just a suggestion......I see the offense as being the weak link on this years team. The Defense is the HEart and soul of this years team. And as far as you coaches go....you need to spend more time on special teams(kicking, punting, with defending and on xtra points). I hope you get this and see what I see.....GO TRojans.
