Carr is 15-5 against ranked opponents...can't see him getting fired.
BTW, what a lucky win for USC. Was a great game, but I only saw the final 90 seconds or so.
so how do you know it was a great game?
Got lucky on the 4th and 8 when the ND CB somehow flapped and missed the pass to Jarrett.
he didn't flap...he didn't look back because he was legally face guarding...it was a perfect pass on a routine play that Leinart and jarrett run.
Then Leinart making a stupid decision to run to the end zone from about 8 yards out butfortune shined when the ball was knocked out of bounds. And then Leinart deciding to sneak instead of speaking (and Carroll said it was Leinart's decision, not his) and ND initially stopping him but Leinart rolling to his left and falling in.
Reggie Bush pushed him in...he didn't just fall in.
That was a good move by Leinart, but shoddy ND tackling (questionable call that is being celebrated today but very easily could have been second guessed had ND tackled).
true, but it was a guts call, like Nebraska going for two against miami in the orange bowl for the win instead of the tie
In that situation, the defense must make the tackle, especially after the initial stop behind the line.
how do they make the tackle when their entire defense was pushed two yards into the end zone? Leinart was stuck behind his blockers and when he rolled off of them the ND Linebacker came up to hit him and then reggie bush pushed him over the goal line...so a 230 pound linebacker vs. a falling 235 pound QB being pushed over by a 200 pound running back with a five yard head start.
Credit for the comeback. But is USC luck soon to run out? You'll think different, but either UT or VaTech would give USC a great game and an upset wouldn't be a surprise.
ND's offense is distinctly better than both Texas and Va Tech, even though both their defenses are better. also, there is no rivalry between us and tex or va tech. the game will be at a neutral site if USC texas or va tech reaches it and USC most certainly has the advantage in huge game experience as well as coaching. I'lltake Carroll over Mack Brown any day. (and beamer over mack Brown as well)
You'll say different, but I'll also point out at how you stated ND is crap and had beaten "four distinctly average teams." So what does that say about USC barely scraping by?
