USC will measure whether the new coaching staff is doing their job or not. For far too long, DAWGS seem to start the season tentative, and then stumble against USC, then regroup, get their act together, and finally get their season started.
Let's see the season start with the opening kickoff. Let's see the best players - the ones READY TO PLAY - out on the field and playing without the typical early season rust. Let's have the best QB on the field, utilizing the talent around him. Let's see a D that inspires fear. Then, let's kick SS's visor all the way back to Columbia. Let's get in HIS head for a change, and in doing so, get in the head of TN, FL, and AL.
That will tell us all we need to know about this new group.
Just win.
