Since this is a "pile on" thread, I'm going to get my licks in.
We should have learned in these past 6 big games that kicking field goals wont cut it. You must put the ball in the EZ.
That being said, when JT is facing 1st and goal from inside the 5, we have to be confident enough in our guys that they will get the job done. When it comes down to 4th and goal at the one, if you cant put it in, you dont deserve to win against a tema like USC. When are we going to man up and KNOW that we can dominate?
Pete Carroll may have the best players that money can buy, but those guys "WALK AS IF." They walk as if they are going to win! They walk as if they know no fear. They walk as if a 4th and 1 is a personal challenge THEY WILL WIN.
Until we get to that point, we will continually fall short against quality opponents.
