I remember in 1969 or 70 USC Football team going 6-4 under John McKay. They went into the season raked top5. It was after the Simpson years and No.1 team. They had alot of great players. But alot of injuries and losing some early games, and the same fate of 4 loses took place. I believe it happened 2 years in a row. But in 1972 they turned things around and went undefeated and won the national championship. Many believe that was the greatest college team ever. I know I do. So , hopefully they don't go 8-4 next year and then turn things around. Hopefully they turn things around next year. Go USC.
