Yes, the Lions got a severe azz wuppin' yesterday.
Their secondary wasn't up to it. Then, it's much easier to have pro offenses that pro defenses in college. Seems most of the focus in college ball is on offense.

There are only a handful of schools that can sell themselves as stepping stones to the NFL, and for the past few years, USC's been at the top of the heap, imo. Even Big 10 homey Brett Musberger was crowing about all USC's pro draft picks of recent years.

Pete Carroll's got the best program around. Dynamic guy, great recruiter, great motivator. I saw a 60 minutes show of Carroll going out to gang turf and trying to influence young men. He wasn't succesful as a pro coach, but seems to have found his calling at SC.

If you're 18 yrs old, who's more likely to impress you? Pete Carroll or Joe Paterno?
