Game Thread: Vegas Bowl: Fresno St Vs USC 12/21/2013

[Boise4Life]

Impressive to see USC come in inspired and physical. And on the other side it's another bowl game embarrassment for Fresno.

Once Kiffin left town, USC became an excellent team.

Seriously looks like there was just one obstacle holding them back. USC certainly validated the firing.

Clear difference in the team after the firing. After watching the season play out, I think that Kiffin allowed the sanctions and injuries to become the story/excuse rather than just accepting them and moving on in spite of them.

The biggest difference under Kiffin and Coach O was that under Kiffin, the sanctions and injuries that we suffered were a constant topic of discussion. He allowed both to become a dark cloud over the program. Under Orgeron, they were never a topic of discussion. It was "it is what it is, we still have football games to play and win."
