Gameday: sc's Offense Is the Best Money Can Buy

Anyone else see this? Were they finally seeing the truth? No. They were using a metaphor. (I'm see a lot of that today.) What they were saying: sc is getting a lot out of Barkely because they are taking the risk of calling plays that either succeed big or crash. sc is throwing all of their offensive currency out there -- nothing cautious, trying to make big plays. Sounds like a debate we've been having here BUT: In the next sentence they praised the sc O line, noted that sc could send out multiple receivers AND protect Barkley from a 6 man rush and blitzes. Barkley routinely gets 4 or more seconds to throw. And, they also pointed out that sc's receivers have been catching the ball. Point: To take the risks sc is taking with its freshman QB you need the ability to protect him and give him time to throw and receivers who catch the ball.

When we can do the same, we will throw more currency on the table.

sjh

But, hey, the headline about the "best money can buy" seems a clear case of using a double entendre

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of BruinsNation's (BN) editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of BN's editors.

It was on TV

during the game day report on the Pac 10 — focusing on the sc v. Oregon game.

It was a correspondent report — a rolled in tape.

I was on the treadmill grazing and didn’t focus on channel or time.

Sorry

I wish I had caught that.

If anybody puts that up on You Tube it should make a nice clip that get’s viewed a lot and posted to boards like this.

Although . . . When that CBS announcer referred to Lendale White as a Thug, CBS stepped in and had You Tube take it down right away.

well,

when you have supposedly the best offensive line in college, and 4 5 star upperclassmen running backs to rotate in, you can afford to be aggressive with your qb play.

I heard that too

Unfortunately, my kids didn’t understand how funny it was, and I didn’t have anyone else to share it with. The truth always makes the best laughs.
