Shooting From the Hip: USC 27, Texas 24
God damn. This team fought its ass off against a Top Five team on their home turf and could have, should have won. Crucial deficiencies on the OL and in the booth did them in, but celebrate the fight, heart and attitude this team showed in a ferocious effort.
OFFENSE
Chris Warren had four carries in a game that was never more than seven points out of reach.
There are a half-dozen different storylines of note in Texas’ half-wildassed, half-asstastic and half fantastic (this is the kind of game that warrants three halves) offensive game, but that’s the stat that tells the story of how Texas lost this game and who lost it for them.
