This was never gonna be an easy game. USC is a good team. They have a lot of good players. And their season was on the line.
But dealing with adversity...coming from two TD's back...putting Drew in a position where he had to lead the team in the 2nd half in order to overcome the deficit...these are all very important things going forward.
I feel like we now have the inside track for a playoff spot, regardless of what happens against Ohio State in early November.
But it won't be automatic. We need to show up in every game the rest of the way. As it stands, we'll be favored to win all of them except the one against the Buckeyes.
First trap game: in Madison coming off our bye next week. Wisconsin is a good team and we need to go in there ready for a war.
A lot of guys came up big today. I do wish I knew what's going on with Nick Singleton. Something about the way they used him and the way he performed today raises questions.
That aside, winning a big game...a pressure game...after falling behind...on the road...and in the process holding on to a top-5 ranking...taken together means a lot.
