U.SC knows that they have to be more physical vs Stanford

"You saw it today, I thought they had their jaws set,” Helton said. “I mean, they're mad. And that's what you want, you want a defense that's mad.”

Good thing he likes a mad defense, they should be even madder next week after we unset their jaws.

So yeah, it's gonna get dirty.

I fear this.

It's certainly what happened with UCLA last year. They spent weeks pumping themselves up about how Stanford wasn't going to push them around anymore, and they came out on fire complete with tons of cheap shots and dirty play.

In the end the effort trashed both teams.
Stanford suffered a ton of injuries that the team didn't really recover from for about six games - in some ways not at all. UCLA went into a tailspin the rest of the season (though to be sure a big chunk of their tailspin was losing Rosen two weeks later).
