The USC defense has been getting clobbered lately. No, not by Jimmy Clausen and Notre Dame, or Sean Canfield and Oregon State. But by the Los Angeles media as well as the ever-wise college football commentators on ESPN. The E stands for The Eternal as in the See-All and Know-All Sports ...Published on: 30th October, 2009

The Trojans will definitely try to put their best foot forward on Saturday, but it may be somewhat gimpy. What amounts to the biggest Pac-10 game of the year comes at a time when the Trojans are bruised and banged up.

This game reminded many of the 2005 contest between USC and Fresno State, which the Trojans finally pulled out 50-42 on some last quarter heroics by Reggie Bush, the 2005 Heisman Trophy winner.

It could be déjà vu once again when the 5-1 Trojans host the 4-2 Beavers of Oregon State. Last year the Beavers upset the Trojans 27-21. It was the second time in three years that Oregon State had turned the tables on USC. However, both Beaver wins came at Reser ...Published on: 22nd October, 2009

Every week, Pete Carroll preaches three things: turnovers, penalties, and “It’s not how you start but how you finish.” So, this report card is going to be short and to the point. Or rather to those three points. Two Trojan players get an A: Matt Barkley and Anthony McCoy. Barkley had another career ...Published on: 17th October, 2009
On a day when the top BCS hopefuls Florida and Texas had to hold off their rivals, Arkansas and Oklahoma respectively, USC would prevail as well...barely. With Florida and Texas it was touch ‘n go the entire game. However, the Trojans had a 20-point lead on Notre Dame, 34-14, when the ...Published on: 17th October, 2009
It was drama at its highest. Nine seconds left in the game. The score was 34-27. A USC penalty gave Notre Dame the ball at the USC four yard line. Jimmy Clausen, the No. 1 rated passer in the nation, took the snap, ran to his right to try to ...
