...2. Just how mortal will USC really be in 2006?
Losing to Texas in the Rose Bowl ushered in USC’s most trying off-season of the Pete Carroll era. Couple some off-field turbulence with the departures of Heisman winners Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush, and you can understand why some feel the Trojans will come back to the pack in 2006. Just how far they drift will leave a huge imprint on the national and Pac-10 scene. However, those on the fringe predicting the bottom is about to fall out on this dynastic run of 52 wins in 57 games might be a little miffed in December. There are still twice as many blue-chip answers for every question mark, and Carroll’s reveling in this year’s challenge. While the offense searches for its groove, expect the young and speedy defense to be suffocating. And like 2003, if you want to knock off USC, you better do it early because they might be humming once the season’s half over...
