Yay! What was supposed to be a tough game for USC, turned out to be a demolition. The only bad things were injuries to Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush. These guys have been the pillars so far, and to have them out would be a very very bad thing.

Hope they get better through the week.

45-7 was the score and I am sure it would have been much more. Arizona State is different from Cal in one big way - they have no running game. As a result, almost as soon as they were in a tight position on offense (and that happened a lot of times), they had to end up passing and the USC secondary was quick enough to pick up the QB. So many sacks. So many punts. I loved the game.

We had a friend visiting us and he is from USC and we went to Dave & Buster’s to see the game. Realized that they had a pretty nifty piece of equipment, which basically is a speaker, with the TV channel chooser. So you see the pictures on the main TV, but the audio is channeled for you at the table. Good stuff, I like that a lot.

And about the game - what about Dwayne Jarrett? I had told earlier that he is a no-good receiver and that there was too much hype but I think in the last game and this one especially he has proved that he is a good replacement for Mike Williams. His catching style is very similar and his body frame is like Mike’s so you could easily mistake him for Mike. I think missing Steve Smith in this game would have been huge, but Dwayne made it almost trivial. Congrats, Dwayne for a great game.

And of course, Reggie Bush had another awesome game. All round. I hope he is not badly injured. Next up - Washington. Hopefully USC is not going to get complacent and take it easy because the two toughest games are up and they are sort of ‘over the hump’.
