Looking at the Trojans

Know your enemy. While the Notre Dame forgets who said this classic line fist (was it Mr. Miyaggi from Karate Kid?) we know the truth of it well enough. You’ve got to understand your opponent before you can master him. You’ve got to do your homework before you can ace your exam. The principle is sound. So let’s get a closer look at the Trojans, who will face the Irish in their next game after the bye week.

The USC Trojans began the season with a huge home game victory over an over-matched San Jose State. Typically these big powerhouse schools throw an easy opponent at themselves the first week, and that’s what the Trojans did. They won a close one against Ohio State, and lost a huge upset versus Washington. After the wake-up call the Trojans beat Washington State soundly and then beat up on a good Cal team.
