Read moreUSC football: Hazelton has no transfer plans
When tailback Broderick Green announced he was transferring, the first question that popped into most USC followers’ heads was: Who’s next? Receiver Vidal Hazelton seemed like a logical candidate. Not only has his playing time dropped precipitously after he ranked second on the team in catches last season, but the coaches declined his request to […]
Read moreTrojans in the NFL: Week 11
Troy Polamalu (S, Pittsburgh) had one of the crazier weekends in the NFL. His three tackles (one for a 4-yard loss) and 4-yard interception return were pretty typical. His broken-up lateral returned for a touchdown was not. Referees incorrectly overturned the play, and later admitted their mistake. The Steelers pulled out a 11-10 victory over […]
Read moreUSC’s five paths to the BCS title game
Football players like to get physical. Even Olivia Newton-John liked to get physical. But this is the BCS era. Let’s get technical. Following up on this weekend’s commentary about USC’s (non-existent) hopes of playing for the BCS Championship game, I hacked into the BCS computers and calculated all the possible outcomes. Assuming the Trojans run […]
Read moreWhite Warns UCLA: We’re Taking Your Girlfriends
Even though their football face-off is still a couple of weeks away, the hatred between USC & UCLA is a year-long affair. Just ask any SoCal alum-slash-current NFL running back. (LenDale, back in happier times behind Reggie & Matt’s shadow) And KLAA-AM’s “Sports Lodge” did just that. Roger Lodge & Dave Smith had ‘SC alum […]
Read moreTrojans in the NFL: Week 10
Matt Cassel (QB, New England) isn’t getting sacked as much, and that means he can get his job done. He’s doing so well, some are considering him as the Pat’s MVP. On Sunday he threw 23-of-34 for 234 yards. On the ground, he picked up 22 yards on 9 carries, as well as a touchdown. […]

Read moreTitans’ LenDale White is enjoying bus ride
Tennessee is the NFL’s last unbeaten team, thanks in large part to the effort of White, the former USC star who is drawing comparisons to Jerome Bettis. They are both men of girth, RBs packing some extra lbs., so the comparison is a belt-line cinch: Is Tennessee Titans running back LenDale White the next Jerome […]
Read moreTrojans reminded of the true meaning of “Fight On”
Ryan Davidson has stats you would never expect in USC’s locker room. Two series of radiation treatments for 12 weeks. Two experimental treatments for 24 weeks. Four tumors removed in the past nine years. And he’s only 15 years old. But two numbers define Ryan much better — $30,000 in three years. That’s how much […]

Read moreTrojans in the NFL: Week 2
Matt Cassel (QB, New England) was the most watched Trojan in week two. Nothing spectacular, no mistakes, it was a simply a solid performance that got the job done. He completed 16-of-23 for 165 yards and picked up 7 yards on 2 carries. As he pointed out in a post-game interview, all that matters are […]
