Wide receiver Rod Sherman, who made one of the greatest catches in USC history, died Tuesday. He was 79. Sherman will forever be known for one moment. In 1964, No. 1-ranked Notre Dame led USC, 17-0, at halftime. It was 17-7 entering the fourth quarter. USC trailed 17-13 with 1:33 left and had a fourth-and-eight at the Irish 15-yard line. Quarterback Craig Fertig dropped back … Continue reading Remembering Rod Sherman
Some of the fanboys promoted that Zacariah Branch was running the 60-meter dash at an indoor meet in Boston on Friday. But when Branch finished 18th overall in the heats with a time of 6.89 seconds and didn’t qualify for the final, the response was . . . crickets. They didn’t utter a word.
