Looking at Virginia

USC starts the 2008 season on Saturday in Virginia. Here are a few of Pete Carroll's observations on the Cavaliers.

During another part of the news conference, Carroll was asked how many tailbacks the Trojans might use. "Well, pretty much all of them, we're down to six, ya' know," he said while the peanut gallery chuckled. Carroll added, "We'll find a way."

Posting has been a little slow the last couple of days because I'm trying to figure out some of the technical features (the audio on this video might have a little hiss), but we'll get rolling tonight. Speaking of which, it feels almost like Christmas because ESPN is broadcasting the first game of the season right now. Unfortunately the NC State quarterback was injured and it looked pretty nasty. All our prayers go out to young Russell Wilson.
