USC cruises to 12th consecutive win
The No. 3 Women of Troy hit .371 in a three-set victory at home against Colorado.
Blast from the past: Utah
Following a close victory over Minnesota in the opener, USC hosted Utah in the first-ever Pac-12 conference football game. The Trojans aimed to gain the head-to-head advantage against a team projected to finish in the top half of the South division. “You kept hoping for a play that would end the game,” said USC coach […]
Stat to watch: Turnover margin
With USC playing countless close games in the past three seasons, turnover margin has become an important statistic to monitor. On the one hand, each turnover created presents USC’s offense with a shorter field to work with. On the other hand, turning the ball stalls drives and hands momentum to the opponent. In the previous […]
Trojans on the right track after 2-0 start
For a 2-0 team, there sure is a lot of negativity surrounding USC. Fans are clamoring for bigger margins of victory, fewer penalties and turnovers and gosh darnit, would USC coach Lane Kiffin just go for one?

Kiffin needs to take chances downfield
The 2000s were an exciting time for USC football. An unsuspecting fan wandering into the Coliseum on any given Saturday could be blindsided by the electrifying offensive play of the Trojans. Points came a dime-a-dozen, yardage climbed to astronomical heights and sensational plays unfolded from the most basic formations. USC seemed to be able to […]
Game two rewind: Trojans upend Utah in final minutes
The setup: With Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott in attendance, USC hosted Utah in the first ever Pac-12 conference football game. The Utes began their transition from the Mountain West, and their fans showed up in droves to the Coliseum. Former USC offensive coordinator Norm Chow, now Utah’s offensive coordinator, made his return to the Coliseum, […]
Living on the edge not what USC needs
It happened, again. It wasn’t pretty. It was hardly palatable. For the second week in a row, USC won a game in the final seconds, barely, edging Utah in the first-ever Pac-12 game. Based on games one and two, living on the edge might serve as an appropriate slogan for the 2011 Trojans. Living on […]
