More About This Book

Overview

Taking a decade-by-decade approach to the University of Southern California football tradition, this collection brings together over 40 stories from the most outstanding voices of the program. The spirit of Trojan football is not captured by just one phrase, one season, or one particular game; instead, the student-athletes and coaches who made the magic happen over the decades blend their experiences to capture the true essence of their beloved school. USC fans will relish the intimate stories told by the figures they have come to cherish.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
When the University of Southern California named Pete Carroll as their new football coach in December 2000, critics raised a cacophony of objections. The former NFL coach, they noted, hadn't coached anywhere in over a year; hadn't worked with a college team since 1983, and then only as a coaching assistant. It didn't take Carroll long, however, to silence those "experts." After a 6-6 rebuilding year in 2001, he went on a rampage, winning 79 games while losing only 9. He also chalked up victories in five Rose Bowls and an Orange Bowl. Steve Travers's What It Means to Be a Trojan recaps one of the most glorious runs in college football history.
