A break-up letter from the Pac-10 to USC
It’s not you, it’s me.
All right, that’s not true — it is you. But breaking up is hard to do, and I’m new at this.
We’ve been inseparable for what seems like forever. Whenever somebody mentioned “Pac-10,” they couldn’t help but bring up “USC.” As a perennial champion, you gave meaning to me as a conference. [...]
USC can’t make any excuses this time
Autzen Stadium was as loud as it was cracked up to be, but the loss wasn’t about the noise.
The Trojans were flagged six times for false start, but it wasn’t about the penalties.
And USC had just as many takeaways as Oregon, but it wasn’t about the turnovers either.
For the first time since coach Pete Carroll [...]

Trojans won’t be haunted by Ducks
Here’s a scary scenario for USC fans:
It’s Halloween night and the USC football team is up in Eugene, Ore., trick-or-treating. But instead of terrorizing homeowners with intimidation and trepidation, the Trojans fall victim to the spell of the Ducks and leave empty-handed.
This isn’t your far-fetched Halloween horror movie. This is real.
USC arguably runs into its [...]
Halloween could be extra sweet for USC
Most people circle their calendars every year on Oct. 31 because it’s Halloween.
Now don’t get me wrong, Halloween is a great holiday. It’s not every day of the year that men get to dress up in goofy costumes and women get to barely dress up at all.
It makes for a fun night.
But this year is [...]
Williams not getting due credit
With the midpoint of the season in the rearview mirror, college football award speculation is in full swing. Let the complaining begin.
Monday’s announcement of the semifinalists for the Davey O’Brien Award for quarterbacks drew a few surprised looks when USC’s Matt Barkley made the cut. For all of his accomplishments, Barkley has the fewest touchdown [...]
Bradford is fulfilling his promise
Allen Bradford was ready to quit.
The bruising redshirt junior USC running back admits he considered transferring multiple times when it seemed he wasn’t working his way into the rotation.
But the words of his father, Keith, always stayed with him.
“My dad told me, ‘Life’s gonna get hard — you can’t run from it,’” Bradford said.
Instead, Bradford [...]

A midseason recap for visiting parents
There are some people who enjoy Swiss cheese, and some who don’t.
There are some people who track tornadoes, and some who don’t.
There are some people who understand Russian, and some who don’t.
Parents from all walks of life will descend on the USC campus this weekend. After all, the university expects this to be the largest [...]
Trojans can’t let Rodgers brothers break out
Golden Tate was pretty good this past Saturday, but wait until you see what the other guys can do.
The Notre Dame junior receiver took a USC defense that had barely bent all season — and was almost never broken — and, well, broke it a bit.
He had eight catches for 117 yards and two touchdowns [...]
