I agree with you about not judging too much from the first game. However, based on his past teams at OU and USC, a Riley-coached team always is going to be capable of scoring a lot of points. His problem is that he's had horrific defenses at OU and USC. Therefore, I don't believe that it's going out on a limb to say that USC is going to have a very potent offense this season at the very least.all good points. however, I've been guilty of watching these high powered offenses play and thinking "oh boy". Then when we play them they don't look very good. Neither of those starting QBs was highly regarded. So were they good or just the defenses bad? Also of note LSU's defense was pretty bad last year, specifically the secondary.
One game, either way, isn't enough to know much. LSU may well have game planed to stop the pass with USC having a new QB.
