The USC Trojans scored an impressive win at the Coliseum to open the season. but we face a tremendous challenge next week when the Ohio State Buckeyes come to town. The Buckeyes will be hungry, never having beaten the Trojans—they lost the first two games between the schools back in ‘37 and ‘38, so our new coach and his young team will be in for a fight.

Fight on!
