Two USC Claims Go Down At Holiday Bowl

How many times did USC say during the spring and summer how great the strength and conditioning program was?

Let’s compare USC and Iowa for a minute. The Iowa players walk out together. They wear the same socks. They wear their jerseys the same way. USC players don’t even all wear shirts during warm-ups. They don’t wear the same length socks. Some players wear long-sleeve shirts. Look at the socks in the picture below.
