I don’t know how I got on this series of big USC field goals, but this one deserves special praise for one reason: Unlike many famous Trojan field goals, this one happened on the road . . . before 95,049 hostile fans. In 1980, USC traveled to Tennessee riding a 20-game unbeaten streak. This was a night game in a hostile environment for a team … Continue reading One Of The Most Difficult Field Goals Ever Made By A USC Kicker
Everyone is doing lists these days. So let’s pick the top 5 tailbacks in USC history. I list mine below. I’m fine with either O.J. Simpson or Charles White being No. 1. 1.
