Hate that the bye comes so early, but nice to get Colorado next year (when they should still stink). Also nice to get 7 home games that year. If things break well, we could be a very formidable team next year.

@ USC, @ Oregon St, vs Oregon is a hard stretch of games

I don\'t think the USC game will be tough because the sanctions will have a deeper effect. However, the
59ers will be tough, as they will be this year.

Re: USC game not being a tough game-- That all depends on how many contributing players are not returning next year. Â Woods is a frosh this year, and if Barkley returns with most of the OL, their offense will be pretty decent. Â Baxter should be a great back for them. Â This game will be in the Coliseum, so Stanford needs to work for a more than a last-second field goal victory...
Stanford loses three OL starters next year and at least two DL starters (Fua redshirted; he\'s the third man). Â I\'m kinda worried.

Fua is a fifth-year senior, and so is Bulcke. It\'s Masifilo who will be back. I\'m more worried about next year\'s D-line than I am about the O-line, despite the big losses there. We have some O-line underclassmen in the pipeline.

USC drops two OL at least, I believe. (I suppose it\'s possible additional juniors could bolt for the NFL) The quality of their OL next year depends on how good Carroll\'s staff\'s evaluations were: they didn\'t recruit OL in large numbers, which was an idea that will probably hurt them in the long run due to the sanctions.

Ah right. Â Masifilo also redshirted. Â Fua and Bulcke are quite talented.

Can we get through this season before we start to analyze or fret about the next one?

I\'ll bet we\'re favored in every game up to Oct 22 (except perhaps Arizona.) We could be highly ranked again next year.

On the other hand, the backend of that schedule is TOUGH. Â Notre Dame looks like the only dog as I don\'t believe the reports of USC\'s demise and burial in the bottom of the conference standings.
