Apparently, Notre Dame really wants to keep their schedule as easy as possible for the next decade.* Looks like USC and Michigan till 2018, a few Catholic school battles with BC, and eight or nine guaranteed wins (Just like this past season, right?), which puts them in the middle of the BCS money grab. Speaking of 2018, it looks...

Ferrell as Jackie Moon in the upcoming film Semi Pro
Of USC's most notable alumni, there's no one quite like Will. With Will Ferrell's new basketball movie Semi-Pro on the way, Sports Illustrated's Arash Markazi sat down to interview him about the new flick, USC, basketball and more... Here's an excerpt from the interview, when Pete Carroll dressed Ferrell up in Trojan uniform a couple years back, and introduced him to the team as a new walk on tight end.
So, they drove me out in the golf cart and they were practicing for the Rose Bowl against Michigan for the national championship and I could see the guys looking and thinking, "Who is this guy?" Then I stepped out and took off my helmet and they all start laughing. We then ran a play. We ran a go-pattern, yeah, I know the terms, it was just down the sideline and [Matt] Leinart threw the ball, but he kind of underthrew me so I had to sort of lay back. It was silent for a second and then when I made the catch and I got a weird, pathetic cheer. Caroll was just laughing and he said, "I was afraid [Darnell Bing] was going to lay you out."

Recruiting rankings can be subjective, but here's one way to evaluate. Who else recruited each player? Nick Perry chose USC over Michigan. T.J. Bryant chose USC over Florida State, Florida, Miami, Alabama and LSU. Brice Butler chose USC over Georgia. Blake Ayles could have gone to Ohio State. Now it cuts both ways. Malik Jackson was headed to Fresno...

Scout.com changed its rankings from last night and now ranks USC ninth and UCLA 10th. The Trojans compiled 3,812 points vs. the Bruins' 3,811. Maybe Brian Baucham helped give USC that all-important point to claim victory. This should be a final ranking for USC because Scout lists Ohio State and Michigan above the Trojans and both schools will get...

National Signing Day has come to a close, and the sunset at dusk was looking a lot more golden. Or, should I say, cardinal and golden. It was USC's offensive line that was supposed to have the really big day. And with 5-star recruits Matt Kalil and Tyron Smith signing on, they got it. Add on 4-star Daniel Campbell, Khaled Holmes and Matt Meyer into the o-line mix, and the Trojans just set themselves up for domination.
But the day's biggest surprises came on defense.

National Signing Day has finally arrived. At first things looked dismal for Pete Carroll's Trojans, as Central Arkansas Christian running back/wide receiver Joe Adams withdrew his verbal commitment from USC, and instead decided to sign with Arkansas. But things quickly picked up momentum, as the Trojans snagged a recruiting surprise. Four-star defensive end Nick Perry from Martin Luther King High school, Michigan, has chosen USC over both Miami and Michigan. As reported on WVsports.com, Perry had this to say of his decision.
"I had a lot of good options, but I picked the one that was best for me and that is USC," said Perry. "They have so many good players, and I want to be a part of that."
Scout lists the speedy 6-4/240 pound Perry as #1 at his position. Rivals has him at #2. Either way, with Miami and Michigan both leading USC in the recruiting rankings, Perry's decision will give the Trojans a much sought after boost.
