3-4-3,
Defense;
3, defenders,

These three are very confident that they can handle a lone striker or two forwards. They are also reliant on a good defensive midfield.

On the attack these players will play wide positions. On the defense these players will be more compact and allow the outside midfields to aid in the wider positions.

At times the inside mid-fielders will "show" for the ball. This creates an additional attack from the centre of the pitch as the mid-fielders become out-let players.

They are trying to convert the play by maintaining possession.

When there are only 4 midfielders the attitude is to feed the 3 strikers with the long ball from the back.

Midfield

4, mid-fielders are usually arranged as outside left, inside left, inside right and outside right.

The outside players are called, wingers or flank players and are also involved in striking the goal.

This would make this line up have a possibility of 4 strikers at any given time.

These wingers usually have the bulk of the running to do as they could carry the ball from the defending third and into the attacking third.

This also depends on the team strategy as outlined by the coaching staff.

The two inside mid-fielders are supposed to be the "play makers".

These are the individuals who are responsible for carrying out the plans the coach and players have designed and used as the methods of attack and goal scoring.

These positions have traditionally played these roles. However nowadays the play making comes from anyone and sometimes all the players at any given time.

These inside players have also been more defensive in their general on field play.

This defensive idea is to stop the opposition from creating attacking options.

They will then gain possession of the ball and and mount an immediate attack through their play making abilities.

Forwards

3, forwards,This is the first time in any formations that we discuss the possibility of three strikers.

This is a team who definitely has goal scoring in mind first.

They want to put pressure on their opponents by having a greater numerical advantage while attacking.

This team also forces the opposition to become more defensive. This is a tactical of aggression from this team.

"Trojans garner top rated recruiting class"-

With the recruiting season finally coming to an end the USC Trojans, seemingly depleted from all the early entries throughout its star studded roster as well as losing valuable players who ran out of eligibility, had to find replacements for all the departed talent and came away with the No.1 rated recruiting class in the nation narrowly edging out the University of Florida for that honor.

The USC Trojans signed 14 of the top 100 prep players in the nation The USC Trojans 2006 class may be one of the best in school history, due to the fact that several of the players can play numerous positions such as S/WR Taylor Mays (6-3 218) from Seattle, Washington who is a 10.5 sprinter with a '37 inch vertical leap and is considered the top Safety prospect in all the land, WR/DB Vidal Hazelton from Chatham,Virginia who received the highest player grade in the country with an 8.3 due to his freakish combination of size (6-3 200) and speed (4.47)

It almost seems unfair that the USC Trojans were able to lure so many talented prep stars from all around the country, many positions (RB,DB) which were a concern of the coaching staff due to depth are now now team strenghts.

Running Back was a need and the USC Trojans got 4 of the best in the nation with the two headliners being Stafon Johnson(5-11, 200,4.4) from Los Angeles Dorsey H.S. and Emmanuel Moody (6-1, 195, 4.4) from Coppell(Texas)) H.S, both should be able to contributed immediately,this group will ensure the 4-time defending Pacific Ten Conference Champion USC Trojans of being a national power for the foreseable future.

Here's the complete list of USC Trojans signees: Kenny Ashley RB Venice H.S., Walker Lee Ashley DT Eden Prairie,MN, David Ausberry WR Leemore,Ca, Allen Bradford LB Colton,Ca, C.J. Gable RB/S Sylmar,Ca, Garrett Green QB Sherman Oaks,Ca, Stanley Havili FB/RB Salt Lake City,UT, Zack Heberer OL San Pedro,Ca, Jamere Holland WR/DB Woodland Hills,Ca, Vincent Joseph DB Long Beach,Ca ,Butch Lewis DT Aurora,Co, Anthony McCoy TE Fresno,Ca, Michael Morgan LB Dallas,Tx, Alex Parsons DT Irvine,Ca ,Travon Patterson WR Long Beach,Ca , Antwine Perez DB Camden,Nj, Alfred Rowe DB Long Beach,Ca ,Derek Simmons DE Fairfield,Ca ,Joshua Tatum LB Oakland,Ca ,Gerald Washington TE Rancho Cucamonga,Ca ,Shareece Wright DB Colton,Ca in additon to the stars mentioned above.

With the addition of these standouts the USC Trojans have 40 players on their roster who will play in the NFL, according to one NFL general manager, a truly scary thought to all the opponents who have the USC Trojans on the schedule.
