Plus the crowd would have been right back in it as soon as Barkley took the first snap of the drive from the 2 yard line. Especially should have done it, after Pete Caroll did it in the first quarter on the road.

In the first half tied 7-7? why risk it...especially with the distance to gain.

Carroll did it because he really didnt have anything to lose. They deferred possesioin and got it via turnover not a drive like in the OSU situation. Plus..he only had inches to go, not over a yard like OSU.

Kicking that field goal was undoubtedly the right call, esp. the way OSU's defense was/is flying around out there. Now, if it was a tad closer, I'd might be saying differently. In a game like this, you take the sure points.

Herbstreit is such a homer! Just put game on mute...

Is the Ohio State defense this good or is the SC offense that inept?

I think its both. They certainly arent respecting that freshman qb.

I can't recall the last time USC looked so slow on offense.

Compared to Matt Millen he is the Vin Scully of college football. Watching the ND/Mich game was close to unbearable. Why cant these networks realize that there are very good announcers out there and they dont need to recycle losers like Millen who was so obviously unprepared to do the game it was embarrassing. The game was a great game but Millen actually took away from my enjoyment of it. God he sucks. I'd rather be locked in a room listening to Tim McCarver and Joe Buck for 24 hours straight then listen to Millen for a quarter.

I hit the mute button more and more in my old age. I can't stand any of them. With the graphics they have now, you don't need announcers. The only thing the audio is needed for is to report on injuries.

I have Kenny Albert, Moose and Goose on mute as I type this. Goose adds nothing to a broadcast. Johnston just points out the obvious. Albert doesnt have a chance to talk with the other two. Three in the booth or two in the booth and one in the end zone doesn't work....in any sport. Too many voices trying to be heard.
