It appears as though the Reggie
Bush/NCAA sanctions might finally
be a thing of the past. There
is plenty of five-star talent
running around this campus again,
this time with a little more
depth behind them. Cody Kessler
returns for his third season
as the starting QB after the
most efficient passing season
in USC history. He will operate
with a ton of skill and experience
across the entire board. USC
is just an attitude adjustment
away from making big time noise.
That adjustment has to start
with learning how to win the
games they are supposed to win,
especially the close ones that
have not been favorable in the
win column. Yes, the Trojans
have to find a way to replace
all-everything defensive end
Leonard Williams, receiver Nelson
Agholor and all-conference rusher
Javorius Allen as all bolted
early for the NFL. But the return
of 17 starters and an incoming
recruiting class generally ranked
either No. 1 or 2 says the Trojans
should move back toward sustainable
success, like annual double-digit
wins and being in the hunt for
championships. |
