It's the product of being ranked No. 1 in the country in a season that is shaping up with an unusual amount of unbeaten teams. Fall this year, and you very likely could drop out of the national-championship picture. USC has the inside track, of course, which is good only as long as its record remains unblemished.

Early life and career Doba grew up in New Carlisle, Indiana playing football for New Carlisle High School. , giving the Cougars complete opposite motivation from the Trojans. ``We need to relax and try some things we haven't tried before. And really, USC has to help us. They have to put the ball on the ground. They have to make mistakes. They have to make incompletions or throw passes at us so we can get turnovers. ``If they play their top game, it will be very difficult for us to win.'' It would only rank as the biggest upset of the season. USC is favored by 24 points. But last time they were here, they lost 30-27 in overtime. That was the Carson Palmer-led USC team that went on to the Orange Bowl, where it simply took Iowa apart. Washington State plays in little Martin Stadium with a capacity of approximately 37,000, all of whom feel like they're right on the sideline. ``Here we go,'' USC coach Pete Carroll Peter C. Carroll (born September 15, 1951, in San Francisco, California) is the current head coach of the University of Southern California Trojans football team, having held that position since 2001. said. ``We have a new adventure coming up, going up to the Northwest. ``We had some guys who didn't survive it last time we went up.

USC's bar has been set so high, anything less than a perfect season sadly will be viewed as disappointment. Better win. Next week the Trojans are at 3-4 Oregon State.

That's where expectations are left when you're the defending national champions and ranked No. 1 in the country. That's the good and the bad for having built one of the most admired college football programs in the country. There's only one place to go from the top. ``It's the first time we've had a No. 1 team to Martin Stadium,'' Doba said. ``It's a chance for our kids to make something happen and we're looking forward to it.'' It seems almost absurd, even the possibility of USC losing to Washington State. No matter how giddy the Cougars are, how daring they play, how advantageous they are, struggling lower-echelon teams just don't knock off the No. 1 team in the nation. USC is 27-1 since losing its last time here. ``We've got to play really well, make sure we bring our game and get it done,'' Carroll said. ``It's a big opportunity for us, knowing that we've got a couple games in a row on the road and we'd like to get it started off right.''

This is some run, some opportunity. The thing of it is, it's left them with weekly games that have more to lose. The ultimate prize still is six victories away. Today is a small stepping stone they can't afford to miss. That's the way it is now, the situation greatness has presented. They'd better win. |
