Just WIN Baby!

First, it is GREAT to get the first win on the season! Matt Barkley and Ronald Johnson had career days, Barkley threw 5 TD's with no interceptions, and Johnson was on the receiving end of 3 of those, and added an 89 yard punt return for a TD.

Second, the D needs to step up, and fast! Monte Kiffen's D gave up 588 yards of offense and did not record a single turnover. If USC is going to be successful, that needs to improve...now.

Third, there were no injuries of note, and with USC's depleted roster, that is a good thing. Depth is going to be an issue as they players seemed tired, not having the customary backups that can rotate in and out of the game, keeping players fresh. That may take a heavy toll later on in the season.

Here is ESPN's recap of the game:
