I keep hearing the "USC is more talented", but what is that based off of - their depth, recruiting star rating, their O/D Lines plus skill? I think it would be hard right now to say that their QB, RB, WR(s), LBs are better than ours. I can assume their lines are better, but I don't know about their defensive backfield. Ergo, just dismissing our talent out of hand seems a little off to me.
Anyone got any links to their boards? What are USC fans saying about this game?
Their Fire Helton thread seems to be getting the lion's share of their traffic.
They are mostly focused on figuring out who their next HC is going to be. One thread on the line, though, with 3 out of 4 posts saying Buffs will cover.
Please no. Not directed at you specifically, but Allbuffs spends too much time already talking about what fans on other message boards are posting.
I did learn one thing I found valuable....they are really thin at the safety position. Sounds like they are starting a true freshman for the game.
Viska is gonna eat.
Yeah, but he’s a 7 star recruit!
Starter who has been suspended was dismissed.

Will Landman have to sit for the first quarter or change start on the first defensive play?
Landman will be eligible to play at kickoff.
Clay Helton not only had his team practice twice during the first half of the bye week, but will apparently be spending the second half preparing for CU AND Utah.
26 players didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, including 9 linebackers.

Not sure how to respond to this. But I think I like it...
Compare to CU's bye week, where MacIntyre took it as an opportunity to get them back to the lower practice fields and treated it as a mini fall camp. USC took a break, CU ratcheted up the intensity.
Problem is I don't know what kind of psychomological bull**** he's playing and if it's better for THAT team.
Helton can't multi-task. He can't possibly coach a practice and study enough film to figure out a way to stop our three headed monster.
If Juwann is a go this week...
Oh dear lord yes! Let’s play Viska on the line as a pass eligible tackle and deploy some receivers!
Here's an excerpt from one post on the Trojan forum (sorry Hokie):
"I sat and watched the full Colorado/Arizona State game last Saturday in my living room with my best friend and business partner , who played for the Buffs once, and to see the gleam in his eyes as he watched a FULL Folsom field (which hasn't happened in a while), and all the old sights from his Alma Mater, the duck pond on that so beautiful campus in Boulder... where he used to court babes, as he put it, and nostalgically saw his feisty team fight tooth and nail all game long vs a surprisingly tough Sundevil Team, under Herm Edwards...
well WHAT a relief to feel like I was watching real college football again, watching two REALLY AND TRULY competent head coaches duking it out to the bitter end, watching my partner's glow as he rose for the first time since the game started, HE'S THE SILENT IMMOVABLE TYPE, and quietly sticking out his fist for me to give him a knuckle knock, wow! I REALLY ENJOYED the moment, infectiously rooting for my partners team, the so admirable Buffs, screaming like a maniac at the pac 12 refs while he sat there silent and unmoving, I jumping up and down, chomping endless frozen fruit bars, my new substitute for alcohol, The fabulous wide receiver Chenault, the steady Steve Montez, the really terrific running back, an O with A freaking, actual PLAN, an unpredictable O, that let super WR Chenault take a shocking HANDOFF from Montez on one play and run for a score...Damn, it woke up some memories."

The Buffs are making an impression on some folks outside of Colorado.

Do you mean tight end? I've almost forgotten what those guys do too.
Only because our lines have played very well the last two weeks can I say that even the lines are arguably close in production, not necessarily talent. The narrative that they are more talented certainly stems from recruiting rankings and general national perception. CU has played a weak schedule and therefore are believed to have high statistical output from that schedule. 2 deep USC is most likely more talented across the board aside from receiver. But I would venture many of CU’s starters would start at USC, at least in the skill positions.
I meant what I wrote.
