i think that the texas d would completly shut down the offense and the trojan defense sucks this year

USC is the most overrated team I have ever seen and the whole pac-10 is a joke.

I dont see any defense, especially Texas, shutting down Reggie Bush and Matt Leinhart. I despise USC as much as the next guy, but lets be realistic about it. You might can shut down one or the other, but you arent going shut down both of them.

tell the boys up in blacksburg to accept UT's challenge and play them at the Bristol Motor Speedway...then we'll see who the better team is...guarantee you UT wins!!!

You don't have to tell the boys in Blacksburg anything. This is the 2nd offer to get a game a BMS between UT and VT. The first games payout would have been 3.5 million each and UT wouldn't play even after Beamer agreed to use it as a Tech home game. Now the offer is 20 mil and I don't see UT running to the table. Sounds like you're looking the wrong way for the one that's ducking a game. Better tell those boys in Knoxville to accept Carriers challenge. There's never been a challenge from Knoxville in this instance.

as a matter of fact weaver has already accepted the offer...we're just waitin on the volunqueers

USC hasn't seen a defense as good as tech's yet with speed up front and the secondary to match. usc is lacking on defense they win most of their games just outscoring people in the last minute when a team is playing a prevent, which is just perfect for leinhart to set back and wait for someone to get open. If they were so awesome they wouldn't have to win 3-5 games a year this way.

I agree that VT's defense would give USC hell, I think Adibi would be Reggie Bush's worst nigtmare, he is the only defensive player in the country that Ive seen who could match Bush's athletic ability. My point is that until USC gets knocked off, they are the #1 team in the nation in my eyes.

**gcdevil22** · October 24th, 2005, 06:19 PM

that's the reason tech was winning after the first half against usc last year...then adibi tore his bicep and bush went nuts

**greencrest1272** · October 24th, 2005, 07:06 PM

Adibi's run stopping ability is still somewhat of a downfall in my opinion. If he gains 15-20 pounds he will be unstoppable. I havent seen a better athlete on the defensive side of the ball this season however.
