Yeah. Certainly they don't have Chow, but they also don't have Leinart, Bush, White or Mike Williams. Most USC fans have been quick to blame Kiffin and Booty, but Booty's struggles are to be expected, their running game was slow to come on and Jarrett was hurt for half the season. Of course who said USC fans are rational? :)
How has Kiffin's play calling been for USC? It's been getting better, it's helped that Chauncey Washington and CJ Gable have stepped up and given USC solid running backs. He started out too pass-happy, but that could be because Washington was banged up and they had a limited running game to start the season. I'd take Kiffin over Svoboda (UCLA's OC) any day of the week. I think I can do better play calling than Svoboda.
Man, USC is going to be so good next year. They're going to run the table next year, sucks that next year will probably be the most talented UCLA team since the late-90s teams.
