From the FresnoBee comes a glorious run-down of how and why the Trojans have a green light to go for Orange. We especially like writer David White finishing up by pointing out the often over-looked offensive line–that he nicknames the anti-Atkins gang: No letterman in Troy history has weighed more than Taitusi Lutui (370 pounds),…

Interesting factoid for the Trojans, heading into Saturday’s potentially rain-soaked matchup with the Huskies: The last time it rained during a Trojan football game was on Nov. 10, 2001, at California. USC did win that game, 55-14. I’m sure Trojan fans are all hoping for some singing (of the SC fight song) in the rain…

Washington State coach Bill Doba on Reggie Bush: If you’ve got a linebacker covering him, you might as well start singing the fight song. USC’s Bush could run for Heisman [The Seattle Times]

Sorry–not trying to dwell on this one game, so we’ll move on to talk of this week’s game after this….thoughts on the Trojans defense against the Sun Devils, from the Daily Trojan: The Trojan defense, led by defensive lineman Shaun Cody, Butkus Award finalist Matt Grootegoed, and last week’s Bronco Nagurski national defensive player of…

This was the first quarter. The ASU secondary, which had given up just two touchdown passes this season, surrendered five, in the first half.

Greg from Riverside writes in– I think I have a great nickname for receiver #8. It takes his name, speed, and beauty of his game all into account…. Sounds promising, do go on. ….how about Dwayne “NASCAR” Jarrett? Not sure about that one—while it’s definitely clever and has all the makings of a Chris Berman…

Ok, Dwayne Jarrett may not quite be Mike Williams–yet. But as you can see from the numbers through their first 6 games, big No. 8 is definitely not too far behind the pace that big No. 1 broke out with during his freshman campaign: REC YDS TD Mike Williams 28 434 4 Dwayne Jarrett 22…

Inspired by Cal fans, the editors of the TrojanWire decided to put together weekly photo essays, T-Wire Snaps, of opposing teams’ fans looking stupid and shit. We’re going easy on Arizona State, because well, we slaughtered them and they know how to party (as exemplified by below). But rest assured, it is on for UCLA…

After holding the nation’s top-ranked offense to only 17 points and winning a close game against their toughest opponent, you’d think the Trojans might get some props this week heading into their matchup with Arizona State at the Coliseum. But alas, no dice. First, you have Andy Bagnato over at MSNBC, giving us his big…

Should this week’s game against the Sun Devils sell out (the last few hundred tickets are going fast, and should be all gone by kickoff on Saturday) it will be the first time since 1947 that the Trojans have played before back-to-back sellouts at the Coliseum.

Arizona State has been prepping for tonight’s final Bush/Kerry debate, but not ASU’s strong safety and California native Riccardo Stewart: “Reggie Bush, LenDale White and Matt Leinart, those guys are the candidates in my opinion right now. They are exactly who I am studying and who I am focused on.” The Trojans look to extend…

Just a reminder to those of you who may be taking USC’s current winning streak (and all of Coach Carroll’s exceptional work as head coach) for granted–at the time of his hiring, Pete Carroll was widely believed to be Athletic Director Mike Garrett’s fourth choice behind Mike Bellotti, Mike Riley and Dennis Erickson. Those three…
