Didn't even realize that Zach Maynard threw for 400 today.
It ended up being a bad loss and there were a lot of yards after the catch today, but 400 and 4 TD against a BCS team in his second career start is pretty nice.
Roosevelt could've had huge numbers if he didn't keep cramping up in the second half. We were killing them with slants, and nobody else on this team can touch what he does in that kind of space.

Really good, actually. He was staying in the pocket much longer and making plenty of plays with his feet. He could have had an even bigger game if it wasnt for penalties. His accuracy was dead on for the majority of the game, despite completing just under 60%. We need get Tori Gurley to catch all these passes that are bouncing off his chest and face mask. Garcia needs to put more on most of his deep balls and he needs to work on keeping his eyes downfield when being rushed but, he may just become a star after all. It looks like he's finally arrived.

I also have to mention that our pass blocking was fantastic tonight. Cant run block to save their lives but, they can hold their own against the pass now. Garcia has time, a giant reliable TE (soon to be recognized as one of the best in the nation), and a stable of exciting young receivers. He should have a big year.

I'm really disappointed but, atleast it looks like we finally found a QB. But if we won this one, they could have gone on a nice little run. They may make some noise this year and next season could be their year to shine. Considering almost everyone is coming back.

Last night's game was amazing. The intensity of the crowd was unreal, especially around mid fourth quarter, the loudest I have heard it since the two years I have been here. They played a great game and I think it would have had a different result had Tressel and Co. knew how to call a game.

A couple things...Devier Posey is a stud. He was motivated throughout the entire game and if Pryor develops as projected, Posey is going to be one of the best WR's in the nation. Also, Nathan Williams, a situational pass-rusher (sophomore) has a bright future ahead of him. He is very explosive and uses his hands extremely well.

Great environment last night, just a shame it ended the way it did.

Great game, not sure if you were there or watched it. I agree on your points, Tressel must have gone to the same coaching school as Charlie Weis who was brutal down the stretch against Michigan. Pete Carroll is a great coach, he hung in there best he could knowing that OL at some point with Joe McNight getting his touches would have a chance.

I think Pryor gets crucified a little too much. Personally i think he's probably going to be a WR (sort of Matt Jones like) but he's a heck of an athlete.

This year he has been moved around a little bit, they are asking him to play some more in the box and until he got hurt tonight he was very successful at that. He was getting down hill and stopping the run, and was being very physical. Once he got hurt, it looked like they put him in the outfield a little bit.

This is the same excuse making you always hear from USC fans in regards to Taylor Mays. It's complete and utter BS if you ask me.

If Taylor Mays is really as good as USC fans like to make him out to be, then why on earth wouldn't a coaching staff as smart as USC's put him in the best position to make game changing plays, instead of just asking him not to give up a big play.

Does that even remotely make any sense to do that?

He does what they need him to do, Last night you saw him flying to the ball and making a difference until he got hurt, and he kinda got lost.

you gotta realize that they put him in position to do what he does best. They dont ask him to do more than that.
