Get Your Inane Nebraska-USC T-Shirts Now!

There is never a great shortage of mediocre t-shirts available on the internets, which now includes these wonders (HT: Hawk Digest) being sold by the USC Alumni Association just especially for the Nebraska game:

You can bet they stayed up for days thinking of the design for these. Only $15!

Anyone want to guess what the play calling is going to be like this year? It won't be three runs and a punt. I'm guessing it'll be closer to 50/50 run/pass. But what do I know. I don't design t-shirts.

What happened to the days when people put some design into their t-shirts, anyway?

Almost as inane...

...as the Husker game plan against USC last year... :-)

I mean, you HAD to see this coming after what we did (or, more accurately, DIDN'T do) last September in the LA Mausoleum.

yeah

but you won't see it again this year. I guess I wasn't too high on the USC game plan last year either, but in retrospect we wouldn't have been happy throwing the ball around and getting absolutely destroyed.

We didn't have near the talent level that USC has last year. We're getting closer this season, but we're still not at that point yet (but, hell, who is?).

I'm anxious to see what our offensive line can do this season. That's where it's all at, man. The big guys in the trenches.

Go Big Red!

Why are there only two alternatives?

Why do people assume that if you criticize a run-the-ball, run-the-ball, run-the-ball, punt game plan (which wasn't much of an exaggeration), that you favored a "pass-pass-pass (tackle the safety who intercepted the pass)" game plan?

In other words, who said anything about throwing 50 times that game?

The West Coast Offense is based on balance. You can get away from being balanced when you are physically dominant. See Troy, Nicholls State, etc.

You can't do it against USC when you have a huge imbalance between rushing and passing. That means you can't win with either extreme.

Will we see something different this season? I'd like to think so, what with questions about running back depth and Sam Keller at QB. But if you asked me last September, I expected something different for last year's game as well.

After seeing this...

...I'd like to go back and change my vote in Husker Mike's recent poll!
Beating the trojans and shutting up their arrogant fanbase would now seem enough to make me otherwise satisfied with a 1-11 season...Just kidding, but you get the point.
