Editorial Reviews

This beautifully written book gives you an extraordinary insight into the Trojan history and family. Reading it brings back so many cherished memories. It’s almost as if they all come to life again. I plan to read this book over and over again.” —JOHN ROBINSON, former USC football coach

“Steve Bisheff and Loel Schrader have written a book I’d recommend to anyone interested in the heritage and tradition of USC football. It made me realize how honored I was to play with Marv Goux and how much I wish I could have played for Coach John McKay. This book is a winner.” —“JAGUAR JON” ARNETT, USC halfback, 1953–56; All-America, 1955

“Steve Bisheff and Loel Schrader capture the essence of Trojan football and its important figures, revealing information only the players in the huddle would know.” —MARCUS ALLEN, USC tailback, 1978–81; All-America and Heisman Trophy winner, 1981

Winning is what the University of Southern California football team does best. The Trojans have racked up no fewer than 11 national championships, 35 Pac-10 titles, and 28 bowl game victories. And the winning continues: Since 1961, USC has had only three losing seasons. Fight On! unfurls this proud history with gusto, providing rousing accounts of the Trojans' greatest games, rivalries, and players. Coauthors Steve Bisheff and Loel Schrader are well qualified to present stories of one of college football's greatest dynasties: The pair boast a combined 80 years of covering USC football.
