LOS ANGELES – A lot of the pressure and anxiety of Big Game Week will dissipate at USC today.
The team's official "Good Luck Charm" is due to arrive on campus from Wisconsin.

Beautiful story. Fight on kid!
How refreshing to have some positive news reported for a change. This story makes this old man turn to mush.
Fight On and Beat The Bruins!!!
I resemble that remark!
Are you a gutty little one?
Prayers to Ryan. Glad the mighty Trojans can bring some happiness into this boy's life.
That being said, I am hoping those "gutsy little Bruins" knock SC out of the Rose Bowl/National Title game.
GO BRUINS!
