It may work for a game or two, but USC's first two games are cream puffs against Arkansas State an Idaho. The next two games, vs Stanford and at Arizona State will tell the tale. This team lost three games that were inexcusable last season. Losing to Boston College and Utah, plus giving the Arizona State game away are not easily forgotten by we alums. What happens if he is a functioning alcoholic and can not function without alcohol? We will find out, but if he does not start 5-0 headed to South Bend, he is in trouble. Four of USC's first 5 games are at home.
