For Trojan fans, it sticks in the craw. September 25, 2008, Oregon State's 27-21 over USC in Corvallis, Oregon. USC's last misadventure down the road of missed opportunities came the week following the Trojans domination of the Ohio State. This week the Trojans travel to Washington to play Steve Sarkisian's Huskies who finally ...Published on: 13th September, 2009
If it wasn't so damn funny, it might be tragic. A senior citizen who spent all week making silly comments and letting his prejudices cloud his thinking and then baring it all for a national audience. It was almost painful watching the old fella make these statements knowing that there was a ...Published on: 11th September, 2009
On Sept. 2, the future for USC's wide receivers became more clear when Kyle Prater, the 6'5", 210 lb. wide receiver from Proviso West high school in Hillside, Ill. gave his verbal commitment to the Trojans to come out west. In doing so, Prater joins Robert Woods, the 6'1" ...Published on: 10th September, 2009
I had an opportunity to hear John Cooper, the wily old ex-Buckeye coach, give his opinion on the upcoming USC-Ohio State game to be played this Saturday. In that interview, Cooper made some pedestrian observations, as well as some that I thought were very enlightening. Among the pedestrian: Home field gives the ...Published on: 1st September, 2009

When Mitch Mustain followed his good friend and high school teammate, Damien Williams to USC, it seemed that it would only be a matter of time before the highly regarded prep quarterback ...Published on: 19th August, 2009
Amidst the disheartening news of Frankie Telfort, who was forced to quit football due to a heart condition and the injuries, though minor, to quarterback Aaron Corp and center Kris O'Dowd, came the very welcome news that the No. 1 rated wide receiver by Scout Inc. has given his verbal ...Published on: 18th August, 2009
There is a strange movement afoot in America's heartland. Once and still bitter rivals in the Midwest have locked arms and with a single voice have sounded the signal of support for one of their brethren. When Ohio State takes the field on Sept. 12 at the Horseshoe, they will carry with ...Published on: 17th August, 2009
USC opens their 2009 season hosting San Jose State on Sept. 5 at the Coliseum. Following this game is the seasons first "mega match-up" when the Trojans travel to Columbus to play the Buckeyes before a national audience. But first things first. Heaven knows that the Trojans can't afford to take anyone ...Published on: 15th August, 2009
I was asked by a fellow writer here at Bleacher Report to give my thoughts on the upcoming Ohio State-USC game on Sept. 12 at the Horseshoe. My first thought turned to the Trojans' young defense and how they planned to stop mega-talented Terrelle Pryor and the rest of the Buckeyes ...Published on: 12th August, 2009
So this is how it all begins. Matt Barkley's "Wally Pipp" moment. It was announced today that Aaron Corp, USC's starting quarterback heading into fall practice, has a slight break in his fibula. The injury occurred when an offensive lineman rolled onto Corp's leg during a previous practice. Corp was expected to return ...
