Olball. Obviously you have no clue about what is going on at USC. First, they have only 45 scholarship players on this team, meaning that they normally run out of gas in the 4th quarter. The reason for that is simple. USC could not afford any physical or contact workouts for the entire season because they could not afford to lose any scholarship players. The players were not in the physical condition that Sark wanted them to be in. Next season, USC will have many more scholarship players than this past season. Let's see what happens then. USC still went 9-4 S/U and won the game, and that is all that counts to the vast majority of people. It sounds like you lost money on the game. That's why they call it gambling.
