What a defining weekend for this program.
Brian Kelly coming off a title run trying to prove it wasn't a gimmick. Working with essentially a backup qb and the loss of a ton of leadership off last years team. Big game! Most are "big games" at this university but really........ BIG GAME. All the recruits, the families, highschool coaches, everything on a platter coming off a bye week. Facing maybe the weakest USC team in a decade plus with an interim coach. No excuses! None.
Likely recruiting scenario? We walk away with Luatua and Drew T and make an impact on numerous 2014, 15 recruits. Outside of Luatua, I'm holding all guesses on Cali kids until USC hires a coach. I just think these kids are looking for a reason to believe in USC. Nyles Morgan's visit confuses me. Is he interested or coming for the big game to appease the parents? Hopefully Hoge enjoys the trip and we offer the Mariota-like qb from Cali. Like the kids film. Big weekend!
Obviously not breaking any news with this post but I had to share ND thoughts with someone besides my wife before she killed me.
