In their first meeting on Jan. 19, the Trojans pulled off a huge upset by beating the Bruins at Pauley. This time, they’re playing at the Galen Center (Sunday, 7 p.m., FSN West), and UCLA is coming off a shocking loss at U-Dub. With the Bruins hurting, can the Trojans pull […]

Chock full of O.J., USC headed into the ‘07-’08 hoops season with dreams bigger than Taj Gibson’s high-tops.
Presumably, though, they didn’t include heading into Thursday night’s match-up with undefeated No. 4 Washington State as losers of their first two conference games. But then again, the Trojans probably didn’t hit the proverbial pillow with visions of […]

ATTENTION USC FANS: It’s time to get over your bitterness. Quit saying ‘what if…’ Yes, playing for all the marbles would be nice. But you lost to Stanford. No national champion’s glory road includes a loss to a 4-8 team.
But look at the bright side. You made it to a BCS game. You get to […]

The rivalry between these two storied Angelonian universities is one of the strongest rivalries in all of sports, and is year-in and year-out one of the most highly-anticipated games in the college football season; this year is no different, with perhaps […]

On paper, Cal vs. USC looks like a premier match-up of Pac-10 powerhouses. In reality, there is little more on the line for either team than third place in the Pac-10 and Rose Bowl aspirations that are as lofty as J.D. Booty’s Heisman hopes.
More interesting than the game itself (5 pm, ABC/ESPN), is the game […]

After the No. 19 USC Trojans were handed their second loss of the season — albeit to a higher-ranked opponent in No. 5 Oregon on the road — they are officially out of title contention for the 2007 season. What does this mean? The season was a failure.
As harsh as that […]

Ali v. Frazier, Nash’s Suns vs. Duncan’s Spurs, LC vs. Heidi Montag. All archetypal battles of relentless offense versus stifling defense.
Prepare for another classic clash this Saturday at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon.
In one corner, we’ve got the No. 12 Trojans (6-1), who bring the nation’s third-ranked defense to the field, led by Butkus award […]

When Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen discovered his All-American teammate, running back Marc Tyler, had committed to USC, he must have envisioned years of battles between the two, beginning say…immediately.

Predicting Saturday’s match-up between the Arizona Wildcats and No. 10 USC Trojans (12:30 pm, ABC) is more or less a complete crapshoot.

The only thing less consistent than the University of Arizona’s men’s basketball team is their football team. Less consistent, dare I say, than John David Booty’s deep balls or Patrick Turner’s hands, as outrageous […]
