Ted Miller has a spot-on look at the entire Pac-10. It is concise and worth a read.
In it he sites USC possibly owning a Firstary?
He is talking about the Seconday. He is talking about Kevin Ellison, Taylor Mays, Cary Harris and Shareece Wright. (Josh Pinkard could be in the mix as well, but we expect to see him lose a step or two from not playing for the past couple years due to injury.)
This physical crew gave up only nine touchdown passes a year ago -- the second-best total in the (Pac-10) conference was 17.
This is arguably the best secondary Pete Carroll, a DB himself, has ever had.
We sat next to USC's Firstary coach, Rocky Seto, at the A Better LA charity event a couple weeks ago. He spoke modestly of the group, but agreed it could be the key component to USC's defensive success.
As the night wore on, and the drinks kept coming, all we could say is more CB blitzes, more CB blitzes, more CB blitzes. It really is the most exciting defensive play. And a balls out, risk everything moment that captures the spirit of recent Trojan championship teams.

USC 49 Illinois 17 USC dominated the Granddaddy of 'Em All and wrecked an outmatched Illinois team. We finally got to see the team that we had all hoped USC could become back in August. The game was never in question and it was basically over when the plane that the Fightin' Illini were traveling in touched down at...

Jonathan Stewart, Oregon's running back, who threw a stiff arm that knocked Cary Harris into another time zone, says that USC is missing determination.
"When they were beating people, they had a swagger when they went on the field. It's missing a little bit, like they've been wounded a bit. They have plenty of playmakers, but when they had Reggie Bush and those guys they had a determination."
USC is now missing a national title hope too. A long shot, but USC could still win the Pac-10 title if Oregon loses 2 of its final 4 conference games.
Otherwise, USC fans are rooting for Oregon to play in the national title game so USC could have a chance to play in the Rose Bowl.
Time to reminisce about better times...

Feeling Green. Not even Notre Dame's green throw-back jerseys would give them the luck they needed to keep their quarterback out of the jaws of Sedrick Ellis.
It was a historic day for the Irish and one they would likely wish to forget. The USC Trojans beat Notre Dame 38-0 Saturday, in what has become the worse loss suffered by the Fighting Irish against the Trojans in their 79-year rivalry. And to pile it on it was the Trojans' sixth-straight win over the Irish, setting a new school record.
Backup quarterback Mark Sanchez could add another notch to his belt, after leading to the Trojans to a successful second-straight win as a starter. Sanchez replaced once Heisman-hopeful John David Booty, who has been resting his broken finger since USC's upset loss to Stanford weeks earlier.

It was a cool idea, and well-executed too. That full-color USC schedule poster featuring 16 Trojans in action poses showed the strength and numbers of this year's USC team. But if you look at it closely, or did so at the end of Saturday's Arizona game, of the 16 original starters on that poster, guess how many were up...

Make that a thin cardinal line protecting USC's backfield, which also happens to be hamstrung by injuries. While every team looses players during the season (Cal lost to Oregon State without their starting QB, Stanford beat USC without their's), can anybody in the nation match up with the Trojan's carnage? From USC football's weekly press release:Already this season, 11...

USC 47, WSU 14
Last year a similar Washington State team nearly pulled a fourth quarter upset of topped ranked USC. After the opening series of this 2007 game, with a tied score of 7, it looked like it could be another contentious battle.
Instead the WSU offense folded, the defense crumbled, and USC's prized cougar hunt became something more of a methodical kitten slaughter...
