At his Monday-morning post-Super Bowl XLVIII press conference, Seahawks
coach Pete Carroll said he saw parallels between some of USC’s biggest wins
during his tenure and Seattle’s rout of Denver on Sunday night.
“This game was very similar to the Oklahoma game,” Carroll said, referring
to USC’s 55-19 rout in the 2004 Orange Bowl. “This game was very similar
to the multiple Rose Bowl championship games. It was just like those games.
It felt like it, it looked like it, the score was like it, the offense, the
defense, the special teams.
“Something’s going on. I really can’t tell you exactly what it is, but
something’s going on, because I sat back there and by the end of the first
quarter, I’m like, ‘Oh, shoot, here it goes,’ and the score — bang, bang
, bang, bang — it’s 22-0 at halftime.
“There’s a lot to it, and we’re very proud of it. And I’m thrilled that
we’ve seen it in one area and been able to bring it to the NFL and recreate
it.”
Carroll also said that he believed fans in Southern California could
especially appreciate what the Seahawks had done, given the Trojans’ play
in big bowl games. His Trojans teams were outstanding in big games, with a 7
-2 mark in postseason play. And in the NFL, his teams have won at least one
playoff game in three of his four seasons. |
