I give USC credit for being able to manipulate their way through the sanctions and still sign quality classes.

I'm guessing location had a lot to do with it. I don't think their fallback had as much to do with a lack of players as it did with poor coaching. That example can be made with other teams. Texas, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska etc..

TROOF!!

 

[TheRobotDevil]

No. LOL

USC won 45-42

Help me out here, HIE.

What am I missing where USC somehow had a depleted roster for that game when it's stated the sanctions had depleted them so?

They signed 5 less players over a 4 year period. Is my math wrong?

We lost one of our starting defensive backs when he was pushed off a balcony by mante teos girlfriend

 

[TheRobotDevil]

TROOF!!

I would commit

 

[nddulac]

There's no place for facts in this thread USC had to field NFL bound midgets in defense to comply with the NCAA sanctions

It was a team of mini-Ditkas.

Nobody told me there'd be math...

You're making that up!

USC still had about 115 players. Nebraska had about 130.

However, I doubt either team played more than 60 each at most. Nebraska also had an interim head coach.

Here are the rosters for the Holiday Bowl.

What we do know is that USC holding out it's NFL talent was a massive lie.

USC was docked 30 scholarships (total) over 3 years.

Even so, USC had better recruiting classes than Nebraska.

Per Scout.com Team Rankings

2014

#10 USC (26 players)
#36 Nebr (25 players)

2013

#13 USC (12 players)
#22 Nebr (26 players)

2012

#9 USC (17 players)
#30 Nebr (17 players)

2011

#3 USC (29 players)
#16 Nebr (21 players)

4 Year Totals

USC - 84
Nebr - 89

I'm not sure how USC got past the sanctions, but it looks like they only took a hit in 2013.

Maybe we should call this the "I invested way too much time into a pointless debate" thread .

Wait a minute are you related to cowboyinexile

It's by marriage or something like that. I live in Minnesota so I resent the fact that Spotted Cow is so close yet so far away. He resents the fact that he has to live away from Wisconsin (which is weird even for people who have been there)

I think the moral of the story is regardless of our fandom and location expats would prefer to be closer to home. I'm southern but have lived in South or Minnesota for 13 years now. I'm not truly a foreigner looking to get back but I'm not that far off.

I enjoy the Nebraska fans on this board alright but, fuck me, this thread is an absolute abortion.

Standing on a NY phone book maybe.

It sickens me to defend a USC fan or their football program but I'm guessing that @socaljim242 got his bowl games mixed up while under the influence of refreshing adult beverages.

I feel dirty.
