I must be off my writing game because I don't seem to make my points, 
so let me try again:

The lead story writer in the LA Daily News made the observation that 
Trojan offensive linemen sank to their knees in exhaustion at the end 
of the game. Knowing that many CA readers would knock him for being 
anti-SC if he did not support his observation, he then quoted Kalil 
and others in support of his (we hope) reasonably objective 
observation.

The point being, of course, that the veteran Husker D-line backed by 
a thin reserve of underclassmen had given the three-deep Trojan 
O-line all it wanted on that particular day.

I  think that quaifies as "promising" for at least the balance of the season.
