I knew Nick was out of tune with the offensive side of the ball, I didn't know it was this bad. USC averaged 22 measely points a game in their 4 OOC games before he got the boot the next week against Arizona State.
Nick's just lining up Bama with his replacement for when he bolts for Texas after the Sugar Bowl. Kind of like he tried to line us up with Houston Nutt when he fled LSU to go to the Dolphons.
The more time that passes, the more it appears that Pete was all the brains behind SC's success. Niether Chow nor Kiffin were very successful after 'setting the world on fire' at SC. Meanwhile, the Seahawks can't be stopped.
