Southern California sacrificing timeouts to wear home red on road - Dec 02, 2008 | 13:09:02
posted by: Howard Smith
Southern California's football team will give up two timeouts (one in each half) in its upcoming game at UCLA so it can wear its red home jerseys. USC coach Pete Carroll is comfortable with the decision, which violates the NCAA rule that forces road football teams to wear white. The last time both USC and UCLA wore their home jerseys in a game against each other occurred in 1982. Carroll told ESPN.com that he thought "it was a really cool tradition." If you're a USC fan, are you OK with your team possibly jeopardizing its chance to win the game so that you're team can carry out a "cool tradition"? 
CommentsLocker-room motivation for UCLA. USC is sayimg the game won't be close, so it doesn't need those timeouts. USC is right; it shouldn't need those timeouts, as it should blow-out a weak UCLA team. But USC should remember: 13-9 in 2006. It's why they play the games. Post a Comment |
  
It means that two very good teams with very good coaches made it to the final game.
