Bush’s move remains irrelevant to USC

Former USC star running back Reggie Bush beat the Heisman Trophy Trust to the punch Tuesday when he forfeited his 2005 Heisman Trophy.

USC’s  dynasty comes to an end

USC’s claim to the title of college football’s most dominant team officially came crashing down Saturday, when Stanford unabashedly dismantled the Trojans, [...]

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 [...]

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.
