By Casey S(noreply@blogger.com) USC compiled another top-five recruiting class this week, but that will not affect the Trojans nearly as much next season as the revamped coaching staff put together by head coach Pete Carroll. The USC-Washington game in September will be interesting even if the Trojans rout the Huskies...

By Casey S(noreply@blogger.com) Ultimately, his course of action was to choose the school that felt the most right. The Carver linebacker felt that school was the University of Southern California. USC coach Pete Carroll has turned the Trojans program into a perennial power again.

By ucla7477 The first UCLA-USC basketball showdown I ever attended was my freshman year, 1971.  Younger folks will find this absolutely bizarre, but USC was undefeated and, imagine this, ranked #1 in the nation.  Defending NCAA champ Bruins had lost to Notre Dame (incredible Austin Carr performanc...

By Casey S(noreply@blogger.com) Mays has started the past 3 seasons (2006-08) at free safety for the Trojans, recording 180 tackles and 4 interceptions in his career.

By Casey S(noreply@blogger.com) Let's take a look at the team that should have been in the title game the University of Southern California. In terms of defense USC only allowed 7.8 points per game, which was first in the nation, allowed a total of 206.1 yards per game which again was first.

By Casey S(noreply@blogger.com) Smith, 60, has been hired as the quarterbacks coach and the assistant head coach of the offense. He will have playcalling responsibilities. He was USC’s quarterbacks coach in 2004 when Matt Leinart won the Heisman Trophy and the Trojans won the national championship.

By Casey S(noreply@blogger.com) PASADENA, Calif. -- Overwhelming from the start, Southern California put on a championship performance. Too bad for the Trojans, they weren't playing for the national title. And not soon, either. There's no playoff in sight for major college football.

USC linebacker Brian Cushing was about to get on a bus back to the Trojans' hotel in Century City after practice when he was informed he was about to make history.

By Casey S(noreply@blogger.com) The USC Trojans gathered at Galen Dining Hall Sunday evening to view the BCS selection show, void of it's usual suspense and excitement. Having coached plenty of great linebackers in his career, Joe Paterno had this to say of the current trio of backers across the country at USC.

Former USC quarterbacks coach Carl Smith is the top candidate to replace the soon-to-be-departing Steve Sarkisian, according to sources. Smith, 60, spent the past week in Los Angeles and attended several practices along with the USC-Notre Dame game.

The unthinkable in this crosstown rivalry occurred just two years ago, so the blueprint exists. That could be why USC coach Pete Carroll tried to dismiss his only loss to UCLA this week.

The master of his domain will survey the field from his press box lair. It will be a familiar sight to USC football fans. And more than one will be greeted by a wistful, wishful feeling. Oh, what might have been if Norm Chow was not the enemy.

By Jake(noreply@blogger.com) The vast majority of college football fans want a playoff. An increasing lot of college football coaches want a playoff. The President of the United States wants a playoff. The only reason we don’t have a playoff is because the OICs (Officers in Charge) don’t know how to count. They foolishly b...

The Measles Game. Those three words have vastly different meanings if you're a UCLA or USC fan. No matter what part of town you're from, people know just what you're talking about. They might not remember the year - 1988 - or all the details.

A few hours ago I posted about the possible scenarios that would take USC to the BCS National Championship game and calculated that the Trojans could only make it in 0.24% of the possible outcomes. The scenarios were correct. The math? Not so much. Turns out that in a land of hypotheticals and co...

By Casey S(noreply@blogger.com) USC overcame one of the poorest first quarters of football that I have seen a USC Football Team play in some time to defeat an over matched Stanford team going away, 45 to 23. Maybe not everyone will admit it, but for the majority of the first half of this game, there seemed to be reason to wonder...

For a guy who says he never cares about the BCS rankings, USC coach Pete Carroll was quick to point out Sunday the sixth-ranked Trojans are not out of the national title picture. "A lot of stuff happens down the stretch," Carroll said.

USC probably turned in its best defensive performance in a season of masterpieces Saturday night, but it got outplayed by its coach afterward. With so much focus on the BCS rankings and whether the No.

By Nestor Sammie and the Rodgers brothers will exorcise Mike Riley's UCLA curse and make life easy for QB Sean Canfield: Riley is 0-5 vs. UCLA as Oregon State's coach and was also 0-4 while offensive coordinator at USC (1993-96).

By Joshua Sharp While conservative groups market the proposition as a judicial matter and classroom issue, supporters of gay marriage are also using different tact. They have been careful to warn against "flamboyant" weddings, and ads against Prop 8 simply ask voters to "not eliminate marriage for an...

Sarkisian is in his second season as USC’s primary play-caller. His offense ranks 14th in the nation in yards per game (456.6) and 13th in points (38.0) but sandwiched a pair of subpar performances around a 69-point outburst at Washington State. The Trojans scored a season-low 17 points last...

By Massey Can the Buckeyes dull some of USC’s swagger? The Trojans feed on emotion and if they smell blood they kill better than any program in the country. Ohio State needs to deliver that proverbial punch in the mouth early on, whether is a sack and fumble or a big hit across the middle. The Buckeyes nee...

The fate of Big 10 football for the 2008 season (and beyond) rests squarely on the shoulders of the Ohio State Buckeyes. If they lose, the BCS will be out of reach for years to come for Ohio State. And Big 10 football... well, welcome back to the dark ages.

By Massey Weakness: Secondary. We’re not very fast, and we often have trouble tackling. But, who knows. With Ohio football, we might have a great defense and a horrible offense. We have a good marching band. It’s called the Marching 110. I bet he didn’t say that. You TBDBITL people probably wouldn’t believ...

By Massey Reason for Optimism: This is a new team that has to play its biggest game of the year after playing 1 lowly team (Virginia) compared to OSU’s 2 lowly games (YSU, Ohio). That means Ohio State gets to play in the weeks up to a big game. USC has been beatable; witness Oregon State, UCLA, Stanford, an...

By Nestor When the University of Southern California (USC) won the 2008 Rose Bowl, the contest was significant for more than one reason: Not only was the university’s football team making its third straight appearance in the annual match-up, but USC’s Athletics Department used its new Apple-ba...
