Travis Wilson took too much blame, and this is what we are left with.

Yes, Wilson threw INT's last year. Yes, had he not thrown some against OSU or UCLA we might have won. BUT, a lot of those INT's were on the WR's and I'm glad everyone is starting to take notice of this (although Whitt and myself repeated it time and time again). 

The problem is, all this emphasis on INT's had destroyed Wilson. Yes, he is one of three players in the NCAA with more than 100 attempts and zero INT's. BUT, he isn't Travis Wilson. 

I think we can beat USC. BUT, we need Wilson to have a good game. Not great, but good. We need him to go 18-25, 150 yards. 

This sounds insane, BUT, I think we beat USC if Wilson throws for 2 TD's and AN INTERCEPTION. 

We need him to push the ball more. We need him to take risks. We need him to open the field up. QB's throw INT's. It's okay. It's not the end of the world. 

Travis Wilson is a risk taker. He throws picks. But, he can also make big plays. We need that Wilson back. That Wilson throwing off Booker makes us a playoff contending team. 

The non-TO Wilson? Eh. We will get 8 wins. 

We need to play to win. Everyone whines about that. 

We need the Wilson back that is willing to take a chance to throw INT's. We need Wilson from last year, a year wiser, a year smarter. 

We need the Wilson that through the first six games, had thrown 13 TD's. That guy could put us on his back and carry us. 

I said earlier that I wanted 30 TD's and 12 INT's from Wilson. I'd LOVE to have that guy. We win the south with that guy. 

This Wilson we have, the one with no INT's but no balls either? No thank you. He won't take us anywhere.

I'd rather win 10 games and lose two because of Wilson INT's then have Wilson not throw any INT's and struggle to win 7 or 8 games.
