Leinart looks excellent so far with 3 tds 200 yards in just a little more then a quarter of work, against a very very good D. He is really showing me something today, so far.

White is the complete opposite and showing me nothing, so far.

Bush and peterson look completly average at best so far.

DT/DE Shaun Cody is a freak in both rushing the passer and stopping the run so far.

Other then that nothing else really got my attention.

I have to agree that Leinart and Cody (USC) are making themselves some money so far. I think Patterson has been dominating at DT for USC. Watch him, he just eats up blockers.

I wouldn't read too much into how Bush and Peterson are doing in this game. Both defenses are clearly overplaying them.

Oklahoma's defense is done.They can't handle the speed.Bush just went for about 50.

Bush is sick, Leinart is sick.

Of this, I already was aware.

Cody is a monster..I wasn't quite aware of this, but he's a player...

I thought USC would win this game easily...but not THIS easily...

Peterson can't do a damn thing against the USC defense, and the Sooner D can't even begin to stop the USC offense.

Just think how awesome USC's offense would be if the Clarett fiasco hadn't cost them Mike Williams.

Some incredible catches by the USC receivers.

Any chance Bush will drop to 8?

Bush is only a soph., he has to play one more year.

They lost soph WR Whitney Lewis too, suspended then kicked off team. he was higher regarded than Steve Smith when recruited.

I kept hearing everyone rip apart the pac 10 for their bowl game efforts, so even though I like OU, this is kind of satisfying somehow.

I know you're really disappointed, but you have to expect some knocks on your team when they're getting blown out. I was hoping for a game like Ohio St.-Miami, so I'm disappointed too.

I grew up an OU fan and a UCLA fan, Barry Switzer kind of ruined it for me.

I dont think we're likely to see a game like that again any time soon. Hopefully in the NFL playoffs.

That MIA OSU game was AMAZING.

Too bad Auburn can't play USC next week.

I think Auburn would beat them.

I think Utah might be able to beat USC, OK just blows.

Interesting tid bit from the announcers saying that Leinart was leaning torwards staying at USC rather than going pro this year. I know he said that at the Heisman trophy presentation but I'm not so sure that when the temptation of being a top 5 pick comes that he'll be able to say no.

Man, the rumors are flying. I read one today that said he's ready to sign with Leigh Steinberg. Who knows.

Like I said the temptation of being a top 5 pick will probably be too much to turn away from. Thats a lot of money to be turning down


Just when you think this game couldn't get uglier USC scores again. OU evidently stayed on their team plane because they didn't show up.

I sure wouldn't mind him being a top 8 pick.

If Leinhart stays at USC he better get a big insurance.
