00:03 >> I really felt, Ryan, and I don't remember if I said this to you before the show or
00:07 at the beginning of the show, but I really felt after the first four weeks of
00:11 the season that USC was one of the three or five best teams we'd seen.
00:14 They were playing well on defense, they were dynamic in the return game.
00:18 Their offense was, and I didn't think their offense was playing great early, and

00:24 I remember watching them against San Jose State,
00:25 I'm thinking their offense didn't play that great.

01:09 It was 35-21, San Jose State had just scored,
01:14 then Zachariah Branch took the kickback for a touchdown and

01:19 Came out the next week against Nevada, dominated them the next weekend,
01:24 66-14 in a game that was very convincing.
01:28 The next week they came out, looked like a million bucks against Stanford.
