All right. This week, #17 Auburn, #20 Mississippi, #24 Missouri, #26 Wisconsin, #28 Georgia, #29 Stanford, #31 Michigan, and #32 BC all lost. Therefore we crept in at #25 in both polls. Nice to be ranked again. This is actually right where I thought we'd be. We had a week to get much needed rest and healing time. We have Aldridge back for the 1st time since week 1. Hughes has established himself as a power runner. Allen's ankle should be fine. Clausen got some much needed healing time. Most everyone has Jimmy in their top 3-5 Heisman candidates, and some have him #1 at this point. A strong showing vs. the Trojans, and he might have a shot. Jake Locker of Washington had 238 passing yards against USC. Freshman QB, Matt Barkley has been good, but a look at the numbers shows 3 TDs and 2 INTs. Not all that impressive. I'm worried about their running game, but at times our run D has been pretty good. What I really don't like is that their D has only given up 3, 15, 16, 6, and 3 points! They certainly haven't gone against a passer like Clausen though. I think we'll beat the 16 points that Washington put up against them. We are at home. Early line has USC favored by 8. My prediction: USC 31 ND 21. Sorry, I'm just not very confident, but I will hold out hope and cheer my head off!
