In the latest U.S News and World Report college rankings, USC ranked 27th, the same spot it held one year ago. Rival UCLA moved up two spots to 25th. Notre Dame is 18th, and Stanford is 4th. For the first time, fewer than 50 percent of colleges participated in the survey.

Saturday’s football game may be the first meeting between USC and Virginia, but it won’t be the first time Pete Carroll and Virginia coach Al Groh have stood on opposing sidelines. While their styles seem as diametric as the coasts where their schools lay, the two coaches have startling similarities in their coaching careers.

The numbers were impressive last year: 62 catches, 881 yards, eight touchdowns. The statistical hauls were the best on the team in all three categories. Fred Davis dominated as a clutch performer and a go-to receiver in all situations. John David Booty and Mark Sanchez counted on him time and time again to deliver, and…

USC will not name a starting tailback. It will just depend on the script which back starts the on the first play. Of course, we expect Joe McKnight to be heavily involved whether or not he is on the field for the first play. After the first 15 plays, however, the plan is to play…

USC finally has determined its quarterback pecking order for Saturday’s season opener at Virginia, and it has a distinct orange tint to it.

Orange Lutheran’s Aaron Corp…

USC’s offense will see something a little unusual when it steps on the field at Virginia: a 3-4 defense. The 3-4 is less popular than the 4-3, and USC won’t face another one until the Cal game Nov. 8. The biggest difference is the way the defensive linemen attack: They go head-up on the offensive…

Here’s another Mitch Mustain quote. “My Arkansas experience is worth nothing, to be quite honest.”

AWESOME! That is our opinion on Shawne Merriman. One word sums up The San Diego Chargers, Heart. Shawne Merriman has gone all over the country discussing his options with four different doctors. We have no idea what they told him, but we know what ESPN’s doctor and all of their talking heads have told him……

I wanted to ask the players what the capitol of Virginia was. I wasn’t even certain myself. (My guess was Richmond, which is correct — whew). But that party was spoiled by one who shall remain nameless (Paul). I fortunately had more in my arsenal. So here it is, an all-Virginia five-question pop quiz between…

USC QB Mark Sanchez experienced the first setback in his recovery from a dislocated left kneecap — a pair of interceptions in Tuesday’s practice during the 11-on-11 period. “He missed two weeks of practice, and that’s important,” Coach Pete Carroll said. “There’s some rust in there.” Sanchez, who might have been a victim of his own adrenaline, said…
