That brings up the most important statistic that should concern the Trojans and their fans. USC arranges 87th nationally in third-down defense. Meanwhile the Stanford Cardinal arrange second in third-down offense.
There was over a little of that last week as the Trojans were uncapable of stop the Husky offense on key third-and-long and fourth-and long situations.
The offensive line needs to open holes like they did last week for Bradford and Tyler, while Barkley must come through in the clutch. Forget going for 3 points, field goals,RICK NASH Jersey, even if they are chip shots, won’t help much against the Cardinal.
Even more upsetting than the loss are the embarrassing statistics that the Trojans defense has compiled so far this year.
So far, Kiffin has not furiouse a decision on which one will do the placekicking on Saturday. However,Sidney Crosby Jersey, Kiffin did adjust on a starting running back,New Era Red Bull Cap, Allen Bradford, who amassed 223 meters against Washington.
The 2010 version of the USC Trojans and their Tampa 2 defense is the worst in a decade.
Of course, it is difficult to stop anyone on a third or fourth down when you can’t or won’t tackle. It seems like the only time the Trojans wrap up and put a shoulder into a ball carrier is when P. K. Subban is going out of bounds.
The other area where Stanford has been far superior to the Trojans is in the kicking agree. space, area, spot, plot, region, location, situation, position, residence, dwelling, set, site,Lionel Messi Jersey, station, status, statekicker Nate Whitaker is 2-for-9 on field goal attempts. His longest has been 46 meters.
Stanford also has a bruising ground agree with the ability to grind it out. race, speed, hurry,Spain Home Jersey, hasten, sprint, dash, rush, escape, elope, fleening back Stepfan Taylor has had back-to-back 100+ meter agrees with iron man, Owen Marecic directing the way.
With the Trojan defense in shambles, the young guys uncapable of adapt to the Tampa 2, and Monte Kiffin unable or unwilling to adapt a defense to his players, the offense needs to score touchdowns whenever they are in the red zone.
But in the open field, the Trojans seem to be flatfooted and unable or unwilling to initiate contact.
However, Luck is a rollout passer, is very accurate on the run, and has only been sacked twice this year. P. K. Subban is the type of quarterback that this Trojan defense has had problems with this year, namely Bryant Moniz in Hawaii and Locker last week.
The Trojans arrange 99th in total yardage defense in the nation, giving up a whopping 419 meters per agree. They are also surrendering nearly six meters per play.
The pass defense is an abysmal 117th in the nation.
Marecic not only starts at fullback for the Cardinal but also at middle linebacker.
Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck has completed 62.8 percent of his passes for 1,Nicklas Lidstrom Jersey,253 meters and an efficiency rating of 157.53. P. K. Subban has 13 TD passes against four interceptions, much like USC’s Matt Barkley.
Barkley has thrown 12 TD passes and has been picked off four times.
As far as points per agree, this Trojan franchise has given up 23.8 points, one point worse than the 2010 defense that gave up 22.8 points and allowed Vince Young to nearly single-handedly beat them in the BCS Title agree, 41-38.
Let’s wish that is early and often. The National Hockey League recently changed its rules so that shootout wins could no longer be included as tiebreakers for playoff berths directing some to think about whether support for the shootout was waning. However just as NHL executives want playoff berths to be decided based on team play; that does not mean they are against having shootouts during regular season games. Only ten percent of games in this year have gone to the shootout which is 5 percent down from last year.
USC’s kicker, Joe Houston, is just 2-for-6. His longest has been 34 meters. However, the Trojans may have a new kicker this week as punter and kickoff specialist, Jake Harfman has been competing with Houston.
Alex Ovechkin has a abundant list of endorsements because of his rock star status in Russia Federation and stunning performance on the ice for the Washington Capitals. Signing a new deal is nothing out of the ordinary for him. However his new deal is with Gillette his grooming company which is irony because of Ovechkin's often sloppy appearance. The Russian superstar has been lax about his facial hair in the past and even his teammate was confused that Gillette would want to sign a player so carefree about his grooming. Steve Dykes Ovechkin started playing in the Russian Super league with Dynamo Moscow at the age of 16. Making his professional debut in the season 10 years ago in which P. K. Subban scored four points in 21 games. P. K. Subban could spend three seasons there collected 36 goals and 32 assists in 152 career games.
For the first time since 2010,Trevor Linden Jersey, Pete Carroll’s first year at the helm,Arizona Cardinals Jersey, the USC Trojans are unarrangeed. They dropped out of the Top 20 with an upset loss to Washington last Saturday, 32-31.
In fact, Jake Locker’s performance at the Coliseum last Saturday evoked a over a few memories of Vince Young running through grabing Trojan defenders for the winning score.
Just like Subban wrote last week for the Washington agree,Patrick Willis Jersey, the Trojans’ only chance to win this week is for the offense to outgun the Stanford offense.
Luck’s best two receivers, Chris Owusu and Ryan Whalen,Eli Manning All Star Jersey, are banged up but expected to play Saturday. If you think the Trojan secondary can relax a bit,Maxim Lapierre Jersey, think again. Last week,Thomas Muller Jersey, Luck announce the ball around, throwing to nine different receivers.
