Far be it from me to cast aspersions but.......... this kinda reminds me of Kiffins' team in Tennessee. Lots of talent but not quite there.
Comment?

Well, he didn't throw the 2 picks today ...but yeah, it seems they're underachieving with the talent they have.

Barkley is nowhere near the guy he was last year, and I can't figure it out.

Yeah, and now they won't even finish #1 in their division of the Pac 12.

I wonder if Mr. Haden will make a move in the off season if they lose to Notre Dame?

Edit I was slacking when you replied

They gotta beat the domers...it's all they have left to play for.

I'd say after today they've upgraded from whispers to mumbles Trouble is, with the continuing sanctions and loss of scholarships they're gonna have trouble attracting anyone.

I'm sure they tried, Sean

They're down on scholarships for 2 or 3 more years, I believe.

More on our topic.

PASADENA, Calif. -- Before USC's 38-28 loss to crosstown rival UCLA on Saturday, athletic director Pat Haden assured coach Lane Kiffin that he would return in 2013 regardless of the outcome of the Trojans' last few games.

Saxon: Haden Stands Pat on Kiffin
Lane Kiffin deserves more time at USC, and he has AD Pat Haden's support, but next season will be a different story, Mark Saxon writes. Story

• Vote: What's next for UCLA, USC?

Kiffin told reporters after the game that he had a recent conversation with Haden that assured him his job was safe. Haden, who initially declined comment as he came off the Rose Bowl field following Saturday's loss, later confirmed Kiffin's account in a text message to ESPNLosAngeles.com.

"Absolutely," Haden said in the message.

The Trojans (No. 18 BCS, No. 21 AP) entered the season ranked No. 1 in the AP poll, but have lost to Stanford, Arizona, Oregon and UCLA, with three of those losses in the past month, to drop to 7-4. They were eliminated from Rose Bowl consideration with Saturday's loss, which sent UCLA to the Pac-12 title game Nov. 30.

Kiffin, who also is USC's offensive coordinator, has been willing to take on some of the blame for the Trojans' disappointing season, including the 24-0 hole his team fell in early Saturday. Senior quarterback Matt Barkley threw two interceptions and was outplayed by UCLA freshman quarterback Brett Hundley.

"Obviously, we're extremely disappointed in the season. We're too talented to have this many losses, and that falls on me," Kiffin said.

Sorry Steve, the ole '66 had a break down. Luckily she's on lifesupport and hangin' in there. That's the cleanest font (tank) inside I've ever seen. Little bit o rust in the CF (that 30 yr old coleman fuel smelled ok), but she'll clean up nicely. Found the major issue - the genny *****'r is bent !
