Of course, doing that against Zach Maynard and Tommy Rees is one thing doing it against Luck is quite another. Galippo had an interception against the Golden Bears and a critical fumble recovery against the Fighting Irish. USC had a bye after the Arizona game and another long week to prepare for Notre Dame after playing Cal on a Thursday. He has played his best ball when coming off an extended break and/or when spelled for a dozen or so plays. Galippo has endured back problems throughout his USC career, and he sprained a shoulder during training camp.
That’s 10 more than the Trojans have allowed in their other five games, when Galippo was better rested and sharper. Galippo’s play dropped off against Arizona State and Arizona USC surrendered 84 points in those two games. If we’re sound up front and in the middle, we will play better as a unit.” “The easiest place to attack a defense is up the middle. “Any defense, it’s going to start with the core, which is right up the middle,” Galippo said. When he has struggled, the defense has struggled. When he has played well, so has the defense.
Galippo has had a similar effect on USC’s defense this season. That’s something where it ended up costing us the game, really.” “I think I learned a lot from that one play. “You kind of live and learn,” Galippo said. Then, last season, the Cardinal won on a last-second field goal – on a drive Galippo aided, uncharacteristically, with a late-hit penalty. Stanford ran over USC two years ago at the Coliseum, 55-21. Neither ended favorably for the Servite High grad. Galippo believes he has one already from simply facing the multitalented Barkley every day in practice. Luck and Galippo will engage in a three-hour chess match of just-before-the-snap adjustments, moving bodies and changing assignments to try gain any sort of advantage.
