[Trap_Star]

ugh...musburger.

[pogoowner]

ugh...musburger.
Brent's the man.

[WildCardBound]

Penn State joined the Big 12? Sweet.

Either way, Penn State is in for a beat down, just like the rest of their crappy conference (Big 10).

[49ersRus]

Is it true that Penn State has struggled against good Defensive teams this year? If so, this could get ugly.

[SoSublime]

Tied/close at half time with USC blowing Penn State out in the second half. I'll have to DVR it since I'll be at work.

[Kellzeatyou]

I can't wait for USC to humiliate all of Penn State

Anybody smell blowout?

[Rockyn]

Watching ESPN try to hype this game as if it were the NC has been rather amusing.

[SourdoughTony]

I'll be keeping an eye on Maualuga, Cushing, and Mays. I'm pretty convinced that Mays sucks and I don't know why so many people are on his jock but maybe, just MAYBE he'll prove me wrong and show me something tonight.

I've watched Mays all year...ill tell you right now the kid is a beast

yeah me too. I especially hope PSU tests Mays deep. I want to see what the guys got.

[pogoowner]

yeah me too. I especially hope PSU tests Mays deep. I want to see what the guys got.
He will be tested. You know Derrick Williams is going to be sent deep a few times.

[9erfanfromday1]

That B-2 was tight.

[colo49ergyrl]

Good luck PSU, wish I could be back home in PA watching this game.

[SourdoughTony]

I hope PSU pulls off the upset victory.

[Pnkpnther16]

That B-2 was tight.

My dream is to pilot these one day



JoePa deserves this win

[49ersRus]

Sarkisian's play calling not too good so far. The first play where they threw it back towards the RB sucked. I think our OC is the X factor in this game.

[SourdoughTony]

USC strikes first: Sanchez to Williams.

[SoSublime]

What a throw by Sanchez. Right on the money. 7-0

[49ersforlife5x]

I can't wait for USC to humiliate all of Penn State

Anybody smell blowout?

Well, I'm rooting for Penn State all the way, but yes, I can kinda smell that.
I don't think they can honestly compete with the Trojans.

[V LordofWar V]

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaayyyyyaaaaaaa ahhhhhhhh Boooooooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

[V LordofWar V]

man, i cant wait to attend USC and watch this team play

[9erfanfromday1]

I don't know how old you are, but if your grades are good you should apply to the USAFA. Or get really good grades in college and enter AFROTC.

[pogoowner]

Great option by Clark for the first down.

[pogoowner]

Holy ****, Deon Butler! Too bad it's coming back.

[TouchdownBuddha]

Mays just totally missed that tackle. Otherwise I like what I see from him, he is like Willis where he just covers sideline to sideline.

[Pnkpnther16]

I don't know how old you are, but if your grades are good you should apply to the USAFA. Or get really good grades in college and enter AFROTC.

I am 20. Unfortunately my dreams are crushed. I cannot pass the test to become a pilot in the Air Force. My ears have already started to fail me. I was told they wouldn't be handle it. It was my dream ever since a little kid to fly. May go to be an aircraft mechanic though

[niners25]

Lets go Penn State

[Nikkina49]

Let's go USC!!!

[Nikkina49]

Nice throw and pass between Sanchez and Williams

[PA_NinersFan]

Offense for PSU is gonna struggle if royster is out

[TouchdownBuddha]

JT O'Sanchez?

[Nikkina49]

Touchdown USC woohoooooooooooo!!!

[XJUN10RX]

Usc is taking control of this game.. :)

[WildCardBound]

Lol, poor Penn State. Every time they almost do something right, they **** it up.

[Nikkina49]

Seems like USC always blows teams out of the water in Rose bowl.

Oh boy,Penn state fumbled and USC recovered. Looked like a nice run by Penn State too.

[Rockyn]

I don't think we'll get a competitive Rose Bowl ever again. I really don't.

[NyNinerFan]

hey Brent.. its funny how you're tryin to make a case that the Pac10 is suddenly "not so weak as all you people thought it was" just from lookin' at their bowl record alone.

so i guess we should all ignore the fact that half of the conference wasn't even bowl elgible? :laugh:

please.. minus USC, the Pac10 is just as much of a joke as we all know it is..

[V LordofWar V]

:falldownlaugh: USC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance::dance::dance:

[WildCardBound]

Great coverage on Williams by the Penn State DB's.

[XJUN10RX]

I don't think we'll get a competitive Rose Bowl ever again. I really don't.

Yeah you will, once USC goes to the NCG then you will get a good rose bowl game :)

Indeed.

[9erfanfromday1]

I'm actually not very impressed with Taylor Mays. He is not a very good tackler (he got run over by the QB from PSU) and even the last fumble was caused by #7 (sorry, don't know his name) not Taylor Mays. He is a good athlete, but he seems to be highly overrated. Maybe he is a guy who has a lot of potential?

[Nikkina49]

touchdown USC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:dance::dance::dance::hangloose:

[NyNinerFan]

did anyone in the country really think this game was gonna be close???

i just kept laughin' at ESPN all month long tryin to hype up this game like it was the Super Bowl just because it's the only BCS game that they're covering. :laugh: what a joke....

[9erfanfromday1]

this game is getting rediculous...31-7 USC

[SoSublime]

Mays hasn't done anything..

They have him playing CF. Penn state has only attempted 1 pass down the field. I really don't know what you want him to do.

[XJUN10RX]

Seems like USC always blows teams out of the water in Rose bowl.

Oh boy,Penn state fumbled and USC recovered. Looked like a nice run by Penn State too.

I found it funny that the announcer had just mentioned how USC's defense was the best in the nation and then penn st gashes them for a big run but then he fumbles lol

[yayareawarrior]

Mays hasn't done anything..

[SoSublime]

So do the Penn state losers that were talking trash in the other thread have anything to say now? I told you that you don't even belong the same field as us.

[blueprint]

what happened to this so called "Good" PSU defense??

BIG10 = biggest joke in college football.

I'm a USC fan and i've been saying this the whole time. He's a great athlete but doesn't tackle well nor plays coverage much. He's good but not as good as everyone even the media is making him out to be..

[Rockyn]

Yeah you will, once USC goes to the NCG then you will get a good rose bowl game :)

Well, we keep waiting for that...but USC is always good for a choke or two every year.

[9erfanfromday1]

Yeah, that is totally what it seems. Makes me wonder why everyone is so high on him. To me, the defensive player that has stood out is Cushing. That sack he had was pretty nice.

[Plinko]

USC leads at halftime 31-7!!:dance: :yes: ::smiliedance::francis:

[WildCardBound]

did anyone in the country really think this game was gonna be close???

i just kept laughin' at ESPN all month long tryin to hype up this game like it was the Super Bowl just because it's the only BCS game that they're covering. :laugh: what a joke....

I dont think anyone did. When you put the best team in the country against some bums from the Big Ten, you're almost always gonna get a beat down.

[WildCardBound]

Well, we keep waiting for that...but USC is always good for a choke or two every year.

Oklahoma and Florida choked but they both got in.

They just need a playoff system. I know its said all the time, but it's true.

[XJUN10RX]

Well, we keep waiting for that...but USC is always good for a choke or two every year.

haha sad but true.. I dunno what happens to them, they just slip. The game they lose is always close but they lose and they shouldn't. But then again they don't get respect because the PAC10 is "weak" and USC should go undefeated every year according to some people.

[beasley for pres]

lol

[NyNinerFan]

I dont think anyone did. When you put the best team in the country against some bums from the Big Ten, you're almost always gonna get a beat down.

well it's debatable whether or not they're the best team in the country.. what's NOT debatable is that the Big Ten is a conference full of bums.. and every year we're reminded of that

[WildCardBound]

lol avenged sevenfold

What? Was that the half time show or did you post this in the wrong thread?

[blueprint]

i really wish they'd do away with the whole big10 vs. pac10 thing. i love tradition but i would have really enjoyed seeing a Texas vs. USC game. Alabama i think would've also garnered much more interest than Penn State.

i predicted a 37 to 10 victory for USC... at this rate it wouldn't surprise me if they racked up 50 against this so called "Good" defense.

[Pnkpnther16]

lol avenged sevenfold

[JRO49]

what happened to this so called "Good" PSU defense??

BIG10 = biggest joke in college football.

What happened? The best team in the nation is beating them, that's what is happening.

and since this is a home game for USC, PSU has no chance to win this game. No confidence.

[XJUN10RX]

Amen brotha.. I would have loved seeing them play texas even if it's not for the BCS NC. A texas Usc rose bowl would have been amazing. Texas awesome offense vs Usc #1 defense. That would have been a great game.

Wait, i thought you hated USC? Now your saying they are the best team in the nation?

[WildCardBound]

Cushing is the best player on the USC Defense. Has been for about 3 years now. I would love if we picked him, but it doesn't appear like we will. Who knows though.

The chick in your avatar (i forget her name), is ugly. That said, where is Cushing projected to go in the draft?

[49ersRus]

[blueprint]

any of the 3 linebackers would be excellent picks for us. Mays would be a solid pick up as well.

[blueprint]

Wait, i thought you hated USC? Now your saying they are the best team in the nation?

yezzir... he said it would be close. nothing close about the score. PSU better start making some second half adjustments or else it would be another Big10 beat down.

[JRO49]

USC can't be beaten in the rose bowl because.... THEY ARE PLAYING AT USC, IF THEY PLAYED AT A NEUTRAL FIELD THAT WOULD MAKE A HUGE IMPACT.

Do you know how hard it is to play all the way on the the other side of the country, and not have anyone really cheer you on?

The Rose Bowl is a joke, what USC has won it like 25 times, because... they have excellent talent, and they play in the weakest *** division.

Then they go play a championship game at home.

[JRO49]

yezzir... he said it would be close. nothing close about the score. PSU better start making some second half adjustments or else it would be another Big10 beat down.

I said it would be close in the beginning.... which it was 7-7 in the 1st quarter, and than I said they would fall apart.

You like to brag and tease, you are a USC fan, disgusting.

I don't mind cheering, but dancing on the field after evry score that you run up is disgusting, very much like the Pats of 2007. :headhurts: OH I ****ING HATED THAT TEAM SO MUCH! THANK GOD THE GIANTS WON!

[49ersRus]

The chick in your avatar (i forget her name), is ugly. That said, where is Cushing projected to go in the draft?

Cushing is projected somewhere in the first round. Its all over the place. Top ten all the way down to 32nd. I have no idea where he will be drafted, but I like him.

[JRO49]

Wait, i thought you hated USC? Now your saying they are the best team in the nation?

I do hate USC, but that doesn't mean they aren't the best.

That has nothing to do with it. USC has the mist talent of any COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM IN THE NATION, YET you manage to choke in one game almost every year.

c'mon

They win it because they're better than the teams they play.

Who gives a **** what the people in the stands scream or think, the field is the same size and the game is played with the exact same rules. I played a lot of sports in high school (never in front of more than a few hundred or maybe a 1000 people), and i never got the big deal about where we played. I never thought "oh i better change my route cause the fans" or "oh no i forgot how to catch because im not at home". I dont think its a big deal for most people. USC would beat the shlt out of Penn State anywhere on earth.

So do the other teams, but they get in.

Everyone else is minor league.

A bunch of the SEC and Big 12 are minor league as well.

Do you honestly think if this game was played elsewhere it would be a different game?? right.... keep telling yourself that. it could have been played at Penn State and i guarantee you the results would have been the same.

Penn State never stood a chance.

i agree with you 100%... when i played in high school i always enjoyed traveling more so than playing at home. the camaraderie you develop while traveling with your team mates and the fact that all you have is yourselves makes the game that much more satisfying. plus seeing the faces of all the opposing teams fans after beating them down is priceless.

Lol, that was my feeling too. I preferred away games in every sport. There's no pressure, no one to disappoint. And its a lot of fun when you piss off a bunch of people.:dance:

Not at Penn State. I lost a lot of respect for USC, Pete Carrol a former Patriot, once a PAt always a Pat, this team looks just like the Patriots. Celebrating when they scored another touchdown by dancing on the field like 5 mins after the play! And the score is 50-7, and they keep doing it in their face.

Penn State is losing the game more than USC is winning it. HBut you can argue and ***** all you want. Yes this game would be Ridiculously different if this game were played on a neutral field, and if they played at Penn Stae the score would most likely be the opposite, since Penn State is unstoppable at home, just as USC is at their house.

I'm done, considering you guys will just keep arguing over something I'm not gonna bother wasting my time.

Only thing we have in common is we are Niner fans... :friends:

A team might play a little better at a different field, but to say Penn State would play so much better that the score would be reversed, is just crazy. Their field would account for about a 60 point swing? I doubt it.

i don't see the big deal about it. if the other team doesn't like it stop them from scoring. no score = no dancing. it's not rocket science.

Nope, i played for Taft IN the Colliseum though in the LA City Section championship. :)

plus this isn't the Colliseum, this is the Rose Bowl where UCLA plays their home games.

[Rockyn]

This game makes me think about one of the greatest SC commercials ever.

"Charlie, come on out and get yo' whoopin'!"

[WildCardBound]

good tackle by Mays.

[blueprint]

good tackle by Mays.

man... if he declares i'm curious to see how he'll do in the combine. he reportedly runs a 4.28. impressive for a guy his size. looks like a **** linebacker.

[V LordofWar V]

[XJUN10RX]

man... if he declares i'm curious to see how he'll do in the combine. he reportedly runs a 4.28. impressive for a guy his size. looks like a **** linebacker.

He will probably do amazing in the combine. Get all the stats he needs to move him into the top 15. but it will take him a while and a couple growing pains to make his transition to the pros. He lacks tackling technique and is not a coverage guy. He plays like a linebacker with out the good tackleling. Overrated in my Opinion.

[WildCardBound]

6'4" 235 and runs a 4.28 :laugh:

If he's really that big why doesn't he just throw on 10 pounds and play LB since a lot of the gripes about him seem to be about his coverage.

[650Niners]

Hope Sanchez stays for his sr year.
Championship!

[WildCardBound]

He can't tackle. He can hit, but his tackling technique needs a lot of work.

So he cant tackle and he's not good in coverage? Why is this guy even predicted to play in the NFL?

For making an illegal hit?:slap:

We are not a charity.

Now imagine that D on Tebow or Bradford.

[XJUN10RX]

Ray palumalu JR anyone?

[101South]

I think Mays is overrated, but man I miss me some "woo" hits.

[txboi]

Now imagine that D on Tebow or Bradford.

It may actually be a good game. You really cant compare Pen State to either of those teams. I always thought Pen state was overrated as hell after I saw them play Ohio st. and struggled to beat them, cause Ohio St. sucks too.

[txboi]

When was the last time Roman hit anyone like that hell when is the last time Roman hit anyone period?

[49ersRus]

Mays, Lewis, Clements, Harris sounds like one of the most physical secondary in the NFL!

[V LordofWar V]

When was the last time Roman hit anyone like that hell when is the last time Roman hit anyone period?

he hit Campbell pretty hard...until he got pushed to the ground like a little *****

[Nikkina49]

Wow!!!!!!!!!! what a play!!!!

[XJUN10RX]

Too easy.. wish the D wouldn't of given up that touchdown though.

[650Niners]

Is Mustain in?

[TouchdownBuddha]

Doesn't mean much just like we had "the most exp secondary in the NFL" this past yr...its about making plays...and I have my doubts with that lineup...

I'm only mildly concerned about the secondary. We have some glaring holes on D and still managed to rank 13th in yards/gm. Those holes do need to be filled, but I would much rather have an offensive line.

[XJUN10RX]

hmmm what's up with USC's defense? seems like they are slacking off now.. Play with pride man.

[Kellzeatyou]

USC isnt even trying anymore lol

I knew it would be a blowout

[Nikkina49]

I'm only mildly concerned about the secondary. We have some glaring holes on D and still managed to rank 13th in yards/gm. Those holes do need to be filled, but I would much rather have an offensive line.

I have been really thinking about this. Im torn between drafting an OL and a DL. Since the offence will be a running attack, I think we should draft an OL. However, we do have some big holes in defense. I would really love to draft a mean NT. I have been very concerned about the pass rush. Draft either one of those in the first round and I will be happy.

Im assuming we would draft a pass rusher 1st round, land a good safety in the 2nd round, and then maybe draft OL..

Most likely we will buff up our OL in free agency...

Oh yeah I forgot about Free agency. That would definitly make sense. I both want a good pass rush and a good OL. If we do go the Free agency route for OL and draft good defensive players in the draft, I will feel good about the upcoming season. Now that I think about it, there are many good OL players in the Free agency market. Hopefully, we will grab a couple of them.

[Rockyn]

ABC/ESPN absolutely refuses to accept anything other than this being one of the greatest bowl games ever, one in which USC far and above showed its dominance.

I'm not buying it ESPN. We'd rather you not hype this crap up to epic proportions.

[The OLD Cookie Monster]

Taylor Mays was garbage, not impressed at all, we better not draft him.
