Though I can’t say this for a fact, I doubt I would need much more than my two hands to count the number of basketball games I have attended at the Galen Center during the past three seasons. I actually tried to go back through old schedules and figure it out, but the problem is […]

Trojans display resolve in Utah win


By

In the era of NCAA sanctions, the trajectory of the USC football program can always be identified by how they play in the game before Halloween. Around the season’s three-quarters mark, the team’s lack of depth due to scholarship losses becomes increasingly evident. In former head coach Lane Kiffin’s first year, USC played undefeated and […]

USC looks to exorcise Corvallis demons


By

In the days leading up to USC’s Friday night matchup against Oregon State, one thing that will be likely emphasized in nearly every preview written about the game will be how the Trojans have not won a road game against the Beavers since 2004. Corvallis, Ore. has not been kind to USC for the better […]

Injuries will help USC prep for future

It’s a well-known fact by now that the scholarship restrictions placed on USC in wake of the Reggie Bush scandal have severely handicapped the Trojans this season. According to the participation chart released to the media by USC’s athletics department, the Trojans used 41 scholarship players and 10 walk-ons during Saturday’s game against Utah. Now, […]

For the first time since joining the Pac-12, the Utah Utes will come into a game against USC that both teams would consider critical. Granted, this is only the third time the Trojans and the Utes will have met as conference foes, but I certainly didn’t think three years ago that the Utes would ever […]

Penalties, not injuries, are hamstringing USC

The USC sideline is becoming more like a scene on ER every game, as an astounding number of players limp off the field. Yet, the biggest problems are not physical, like knee injuries to junior wide receiver Marqise Lee and redshirt junior cornerback Anthony Brown. Mental errors by Lee and Brown are the ones that […]

USC in midst of perfect storm

If anyone doubted the validity of Murphy’s law prior to the USC-Notre Dame game, then they must be certain of it now. USC squandered chance after chance throughout its 14-10 loss to the Irish, with a multitude of self-inflicted wounds that included dropped passes, missed kicks and penalties (oh, the penalties). After 60 minutes of […]

USC still has issues on offense

Up until Saturday’s matchup against Notre Dame, the Ed Orgeron era at USC had been all about fun, smiles and desserts. But after watching the Trojans repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot in the final minutes to hand the game to one of their biggest rivals, it was hard for any member of the Trojan […]

USC undergoing slight ‘Tailback U’ revival

Many of us who have seen USC football in recent years, and many of us who were groaning our displeasure during the Washington State game earlier this semester, have an idea of what USC’s offense “ought” to be. For the past three seasons, to watch USC’s offense was a ritual of the quarterback dropping back […]
