We'll be exciting to watch; we'll be fun to watch," said defensive coordinator Charlie Strong. "We're going to have an aggres sive attacking aetense. Jreopie ask me if we're going to blitz this year. Well, the people in the secondary don't want us to. But I want to blitz, so we're going to blitz." Holtz said he plans to see immediate results. "I'm not a young man. I don't plan on having an eight-year rebuilding program," he said. "If you're a senior [next year], we're going to do everything we can to get you a national championship. No sport has received so much attention with so little to show for it." He went on to say that with the amount of tuition students pay, at least one SEC championship and one national championship should come with it. '"Course, the tuition would have to go up a little," he quipped. In order to get to this playing level, Holtz realizes that certain problems must be addressed, including depth. The most visible sign of improvement he's seen in practices so far is the work habit and tenacity of his players. "We're not where we need to be, but I thank God we aren't where we used to be," Holtz said. "If anybody beats us, they'd better bring their lunch pail because it's going to be a long clay of work." Once the football season begins, Holtz wants students to be a part of the success he hopes will come. "This is not my football team," Holtz said. "This is your football team. "I hope you pick up your tickets at the Russell House that you pay for with your student activity fee. We represent you, and you represent us. After the game when we've taken our helmets off, we're going to come over to the student section and acknowledge we are you, and you are us," he said. Holtz also said students had to support the team. "You don't help your football team by tearing other people down," he said. "Let's be proud we're at USC." Holtz believes strongly in the capability of USC to succeed athletically and academically. "It's going to start because we're a family, we're together and we take pride in being part of this university."

Holtz pulled out his bag of tricks to show fans that anything is possible if they believe. Showing the crowd a newspaper, he began to talk about having faith and believing. "There is no such thing as magic," he said. During his talk, he seemed to shred the paper to pieces. To the amazement of the crowd, he put the paper back together. "If you have strong faith and believe, anything is possible. People are asking, 'How'd he do that?' Perfectly, I thought," Holtz said. Holtz finished his speech and left the stage to the same cries of "Lou!" that he entered with. He took pictures and signed autographs for fans for half an hour after finishing his speech. Many in the crowd left with a favorable impression. Anne McGaughey and Brandi Wells of Alpha Chi Omega said they were glad they came to see the new coach. "I thought he was a great motivator," McGaughey said. Holtz was able to inspire more than just the students. "I thought it was one of the neatest occasions I can remember because Lou has such an interest in the students," Athletics Director Mike McGee said. The athletic department hopes the excitement from the rally will carry over into the spring game April 17. "I think we'll have a record crowd at the spring game," Assistant Athletics Director Kerry Tharp said.

"But if a viable marketplace is ever to evolve from these opportunities, the rights of recording artists and record companies must be respected. That means that uses of music on the Internet must be licensed."
