The place NU finds itself now is very similar to where Frank was years ago. Even though the record is good, 9-3, this year, the program looks to be trending down. The offense is weak, the QB has shown no growth period. The receivers are still dropping balls. No running game. The D is barely adequate and this is not a real good USC team. Not sure where we go from here, but it is not a place that engenders optimism.
