Via an article on Yahoo Sports:

“With all due respect, those are two great programs,” Carroll said. “But I don’t think anybody can beat the Trojans this year.”

Actually, somebody already did beat the Trojans. Oregon State, on Sept. 25, a 27-21 shocker that has left Carroll declaring something he couldn’t prove. And then there was USC running back C.J. Gable, taking it one step further.

“We know we would crush Florida and Oklahoma,” he said. “We know that.”

Whoa!

TALK ABOUT ARROGANCE... I'm sure they "knew" they would crush Oregon State...

I'm prepared to respect the team's accomplishments, but then the players have to come out and say stupid stuff like that.  But I guess when you have such fine examples set by the leadership, there's not a lot to expect.  The funny thing is just earlier I read a story about Gable sulking about not getting enough playing time...

Horrible sportsmanship.
