Virginia head coach Al Groh, a former NFL assistant, on USC:

“This is the most talented college football team I’ve seen since I had to do pre-draft work on the Florida State teams of the mid- to late-1990s.”

“They had the most guys in the country drafted last year and a couple of NFL general managers have told me: ‘They might have more drafted next year.’ They definitely have been in a league of their own in the decade from 2000 on.”
