Jimmy Kimmel featured a Valentine's Dating Game segment with the Octomom on Friday night. There is, of course, a college football hook to this. Bachelor No. 1 is Yogi Roth, who was a receiver at Pittsburgh from 2000-03. In recent years, he held a variety of jobs at USC and was once featured in a piece by Bruce Feldman... more »
Allen Bradford had a breakout year, rushing for 668 yards on 115 carries (5.8 YPC) and scoring 8 touchdowns. USC fans have always said he needs more playing time, and this year he got it. With Joe McKnight entering the NFL Draft, Bradford looks to be #1 on the depth chart heading into next season. The future looks bright for #21.

What a surprise! USC had another post-big game letdown entering Pac10 play.
Don't go into hibernation just yet; there are positives to be taken away from this game shown in the highlights.
Joe McKnight rushed for 100 yards on 11 carries, upping his current season total rush yards to 305. Could he be the first Trojan since Reggie Bush to rush for over 1000 yards in a season?
The offense struggled with the passing game, but there were some great runs by Stanley Havili, Stafon Johnson, and Allen Bradford.
USC's young defense did a great job containing Jake Locker and holding the Huskies to 16 points. If only the offense would have scored another touchdown or two. Sophomore Jurrell Casey and redshirt freshman Nick Perry set up camp in the Huskies' backfield.

JANUARY 1 | LOS ANGELES, CA -- Happy New Year, Trojan fans. I hope you’re all feeling the effects of your excessive partying from last night.
Hopefully the Penn State offense will soon be joining you all in popping numerous Advils to help ease the pain that will be inflicted upon them by the almighty Trojan D.
With the great matchup in the SEC Championships today, it’s almost a shame that I’ll be stuck watching this presumably meaningless rivalry game. I know, I’m assuming that USC will blow out that team in the girly baby blue uniforms, but c’mon. Lets be real.
And that’s why I’ll be switching back and forth between CBS and ABC for the next three hours.
That’s right. The first ever two-game running game diary.
Mark Sanchez, get ready for your close-up! At least 6 USC games in 2008 will be broadcast on ABC or ESPN.
