I'd expect my quarterback to say that...

 

I'd like him to say, "We've prepared well and feel like we can win the game."

 

That implies confidence, not cockiness, a PC statement.

 

Telling the #1 defense in the nation, who is playing for a national title shot, and has Manti Te'o, that you are going to win, though you've never actually started? Silly.

The delusion is strong with this one...

 

Seriously though, if our team is searching for any motivation this week, they should NOT be playing! This match-up is against our biggest rival, for all the marbles, with a chance to go to the championship game and a chance to throw the last shovel of dirt onto USC best decade since the 60's and 70's.

 

The pendulum swings, and its heading back to the Notre Dame direction...let's make this the start of another USC lost decade!

 

Who is "Max Wittek", Alex?

This USC quarterback guaranteed victory over #1 Notre Dame in the penultimate game of the Irish's 2012 National Championship season.

Yeah? Guess what? He won that game...

 

yea, and ND's defense was ranked 80th that season...not to mention 79th in passing efficiency defense

 

edit: I also want to add, that before the USC game in 2009, we were ranked 100th in the nation in total defense...

What is max wittek thinking giving the best defense in the nation, that is playing for a National Championship appearance bulletin board material like that. He just fired up our defense even more than it already was. If you've never started and you're about to go make your first college start against the best defense in college football, don't talk trash. Max Wittek is about to get a rude welcome from Tuitt and Nix

Now I can't confirm this isn't totally out of context, as I saw it in a tweet, but Wittek said on LA radio today,:

 

"We're going to win this game."

 

Bold for a kid who has never made a start. I guess I like his confidence.

 

it was the last line in a whole paragraph/statement about how he was gonna follow the game plan do what he was told whether it was throw it or hand it off and the team was gonna be prepared and "go out and win this game."

 

For anyone to simply take that very last line and run with it is B.S.

This is what he said on local ESPN radio today:

 

 

"If he wants to air it out, let's air it out," Wittek said of Kiffin. "If he wants to pound it on the ground, let's do that. I'm gonna go out there, I'm gonna play within myself, within the system, and we're gonna win this ballgame."

 

Smiling big in front of a pack of two dozen reporters after the Trojans' first practice of the week on Tuesday, Wittek also proclaimed himself ready to go and said he expects to have "a lot of fun" in his first collegiate start.

 

Of course, it happens to come against Notre Dame at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum.

 

"I've been ready all season for this to happen -- if it did," Wittek said. "Obviously the circumstances aren't the greatest with such a great quarterback being hurt, but I've been ready for this all year."

 

 

Keep telling yourself this all week kid. Awful shame they aren't playing Hawaii or Idaho for his first start. This game will give us a decent idea of what to expect from wit-less the next few years.

I don't mind it, but If I'm the HC facing the #1 team in the nation, I would probably make a point to my team not to give the #1 team any more motivation to beat our skulls in.

 

It's a rivalry that USC doesn't recognize as much as ND does. They treat us how we treat Boston College.

I don't really have a problem with him coming out and saying that, considering there is some doubt focused on their program right now and as the focal point of the team, he wants to display confidence.

 

That said, this is my dream scenario: Young Mr. Wittek is clobbered the first time he drops back to pass and is shell shocked the rest of the game.

 

Lord, I want this game. I haven't wanted one this bad since my Cowboys finally ended their Super Bowl drought after the '92 season.

That is far from true. From the official site of USC Trojan athletitcs:

 

"USC welcomes Notre Dame to the sold-out Coliseum on Thanksgiving weekend Saturday for the 84th rendition of the greatest intersectional rivalry in college football..."
