With the 2009 college football season looming, the USC Trojans have perhaps more questions to answer than anytime in recent history. Some of these questions were anticipated due to graduation (Linebacking corps), some were not (Mark Sanchez). In all cases, the 2009 Trojans have enough areas of concern to warrant further consideration ...Published on: 5th August, 2009
In my short time writing for Bleacher Report, I have witnessed a lot of verbal discourse on the subject of college football in general and the USC Trojans in particular.

The Pac 10 has been screaming for years that it doesn't get any respect. Like a gridiron Rodney Dangerfield, the Pac 10 teams, with the exception of the mighty USC Trojans, complain that no one east of Las Vegas values the tough brand of football played out west.

It is with much sadness that I find myself writing this article.

Just prior to his signing, I wrote an article that laid out the reasons why I thought signing with the Trojans was ...Published on: 23rd July, 2009

For Florida and Tennessee, it is back to the drawing board and their attention will either turn to what is left out there, or perhaps hold a scholarship for a 2010 quarterback recruit. In 2009, the most ...Published on: 21st July, 2009
Yesterday, I published an article stating the relative merits of the USC, Florida, and Tennessee football programs in luring Jesse Scroggins, the supremely talented quarterback from Lakewood, California. I was startled by the fan reaction to the piece which articulated my belief of why Scroggins should choose USC. At last count, almost ...Published on: 19th July, 2009
The Trojan nation is waiting breathlessly for Lakewood quarterback Jesse Scroggins to make his decision between USC, Florida, and Tennessee. His choice should be revealed soon and the buzz is that Scroggins will make USC his home for the foreseeable future. Naysayers have questioned why a talented quarterback would choose to redshirt ...Published on: 17th July, 2009
Dion Bailey, the 5'11", 195 pound (4.5 forty) safety from Lakewood High in Lakewood, CA, gave USC his verbal commitment at the Nike seven on seven tournament in Beaverton, Oregon. With the signing of Bailey, this gives the Trojans 10 verbal commitments, including five ESPN 150 watch-list residents. Dion Bailey, who ...
