Kiffin and Shaw show growth in matchup
The storyline commanding national headlines last weekend was clear enough — Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck and USC junior quarterback Matt Barkley were set to face off as two of college football’s best quarterback prospects. Of course, it played out about as well as anyone could have hoped, with the two gunslingers leading their respective teams […]

USC drops triple-overtime thriller to Stanford
A hushed silence fell over an announced sellout crowd of 93,607 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. For four quarters and nearly three overtimes, No. 20 USC fought, scratched and clawed with No. 4 Stanford in a back-and-forth affair.

[…]
Coaches don’t deserve all scrutiny, blame
USC-Notre Dame just doesn’t have the same kick to it anymore. With both teams at relative low points, the bad blood in the rivalry doesn’t quite boil like it used to (at least on the West Coast, anyway — South Bend might be a different story). Sure, the game will receive plenty of attention with […]
Young USC team prepares for challenge
