We found this definition for the disconcerting penalty on Rey Maualuga that set up Nebraska’s touchdown. “Use of disconcerting acts or words prior to the snap to interfere with (opposing player’s) signals or movements.” UPDATED: Here’s the official rule: “No player shall use words or signals that disconcert opponents when they are preparing to put…

The Bruins are trailing 27-6 late in the fourth, and it’s taken them 4 minutes to go about 40-something yards. They just ran on consecutive running plays for the second time this drive. Yes, Ben Olson is horrible today, but this is NOT the play-calling that will win football games.

Added to the USC celebrity list are actor Keanu Reeves, who just wanted to come to the game, and Heisman winner Marcus Allen, who came with Ronnie Lott. Word is now that Will Ferrell may do the lineup announcement for USC. He and Larry the Cable Guy are down on the USC sideline now, some…

USC debuted its new black-and-gold team warmups/travel gear Friday. The only cardinal on them is the SC logo. “They look like Colorado” one Nebraska fan said as USC hit the field for a quick walkaround. Then the Song Girls, on this chilly night, showed up in cardinal warmups over their traditional white sweaters. Hard to…

Hart ran for 187 yards on 35 carries and scored two touchdowns, and Ryan Mallett threw for three scores, leading the Wolverines to a 38-0 win over Not…

Nebraska fans are preparing for the upset; let’s just hope that team is as ready. I really am not a fan of fans announcing how they will celebrate days before the game. While its only been a decade since Nebraska was a National Champion, going for the goalposts at a program with that much tradition…

Bill Callahan needs to win tomorrow. Everything he’s done since he took over Nebraska in 2004 comes down to the final score. Win, and the progress he has made is vindicated. Lose, and it’s all for naught. Bill Callahan is hungry for a win of great significance and tomorrow is his chance.

Austin Murphy, SI.com The three air-horn blasts signaling the end of practice at Howard Jones Field came about a half-hour earlier than usual on Tuesday. Make that “Competition Tuesday,” as it’s known at USC — a reminder to starters that they must earn their jobs every day; a goad to backups to push the guys…

Dan Weber, Riverside P-E To some observers, USC’s 10-day run-up to the Nebraska game Saturday has looked more like a bowl game buildup. Nice and easy and full of confidence. That’s not how offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian sees it. “I thought we looked really fast, like the kids knew their assignments and didn’t have to…

Phil Collin, Daily Breeze One of the first players out of the locker room after the Rose Bowl last New Year’s Day was in a hurry. His gear clung over his shoulder, Chauncey Washington marched out purposefully, uttering little. It was clear he wasn’t in a rush to go out and celebrate USC’s 32-18 win…

Mark Whicker, OC Register Jeff Byers already has graduated from USC and is working on his postgraduate business degree. That’s MBA, not MIA. The difference this year that Byers is sprinkling a little football in between all the term papers and essays. That’s the weird part about this game. Everyone hears about what kind of epoch-changing…
