This is the real answer -- just as USC proved itself the better team the last two years.

Lou is a real USC homer. In his mind, we are second only to Notre Dame. So, yeah, you have to consider the source.

That being said, for the last 3-4 years, the teams have been pretty evenly matched. USC doesn't quite have the star ratings in recruiting, but have pretty much equaled the Dawgs with good evaluations and player development.

Comparing the units:
QB- Edge to Georgia [although UGA QB's don't seem to play well against USC].
RB- Slight Edge to USC -- based on Todd Gurley looking really good and some question as to whether Lattimore is 100%. Gurley has actually looked better than Lattimore so far.
OL- Slight Edge to USC.
TE- Edge to USC.
WR- Edge to UGA.
DL- Slight edge to USC.
LB- Slight edge to UGA. UGA has more talent; we have all seniors.
DB- Edge to UGA. We have talent, but are thin on depth and experience.
ST- Dunno; think we both suck.

Historically UGA had much more depth, such that we could play them close when the game was early but we faded as the season wore on, while they got relatively better. This is no longer the case.
