By Myke William Sports Reporters When you are one of the top players in college football and you are you are expected to leave school early and try to make it in the National Football League after your junior year. When UCLA linebacker Myles Jack started his junior season this year everyone knew this would be his last one in Westwood. When he hurt his right knee a few weeks ago and was declared out for the season some people thought his plans had changed. For him to try to rehab his knee and try to attend classes in a ten week quarter system wh...
By Myke Williams Sports Reporter USC head football coach Steve Sarkisian ran into a large bump in the road while coaching the 2015 Trojan football team. That bump is called life. He was the coach of one of the most prestigious universities in the world and making millions of dollars. Unfortunately for him at this time of his life that job put him in a glass house where he could not make any major mistakes. Fortunately he had a boss that stood firmly behind him until the bitter end. USC Athletic Director Pat Haden tried his best to support an...
By Myke Williams Sports Reporter The UCLA Bruins were knocked off of cloud nine last Saturday when the Arizona State Sun Devils upset the seventh ranked Bruins 38-23 at the Rose Bowl. Just when you thought the Bruins were going to have one of the best seasons in school history along comes a bump in the road. The good news is Ohio State lost a game it was supposed to win last year and they went on to win the National Championship. So there is hope for the Bruins but it does not get any easier because they travel to the bay area to play Stanford...
By Myke Williams Sports Reporter The USC women’s volleyball team dream season got even better when it claimed the No. 1 ranking in the nation this week after beating No. 5 Washington last Sunday. Their 3-1 victory over previously unbeaten Huskies at the Galen Center on the USC campus proved that they are a special team. “What makes this team special is the new people we have this year,” said 6-2 senior outside hitter Samantha Bricio, who is probably the best player in the nation right now. “They work really hard and we have a lot of really...
By Myke Williams Sports Rporter A lot of teams look good on paper but no team in the history of sports has ever won a championship just because they look good on paper. The Clippers need to prove that talent translates into wins and eventually championships. “Right now we are talking about something on paper,” said starting shooting guard J. J. Redick last Friday at Clippers media in Playa Vista. “The regular season is 82 games and there are pre-season and playoff games. Roles change and minutes change. “The important thing is to have a good...
By Myke Williams Sports Reporter The UCLA Bruins found out two important things about their football team after the win overt BYU last Saturday at the Rose Bowl. Number one, their freshmen quarterback Josh Rosen is human after all and nothing can take the place of veteran leadership. Rosen completed only 11 passes for 106 yards and threw three interceptions compared to his opening day game of 351 yards and last week's win over UNLV. With the passing game not up to par the Bruins turned to...
By Myke Williams Sports Reporter Two weeks and two weak opponents is a bad combination. The USC Trojans found that out last Saturday when Stanford defeated the Trojans 41-31 in USC’s first real test of the 2015 season. David Shaw’s Cardinals played smart, disciplined football while the Trojans committed eight costly penalties. The Trojans won the first two games of the season against Arkansas State 55-6 and 59-9 against Idaho. It does not get any easier for the Trojans because they travel to the valley of the sun to face the Arizona State Sun...

By Myke Williams Sports Reporter The USC football team is not the only athletic squad capturing headlines this fall. The women’s volleyball team is 10-0 and ranked number three in some of the recent polls. Led by senior outside hitter Samantha Bricio the Trojans have won 29 straight sets. “I like this team,” said a happy USC coach Mick Haley after they beat Pepperdine 3-0 last week. “We are playing well and I think Bricio is amazing. It’s nice to keep getting better and win games at the same time.” Although they lost some key players fro...
By Myke Williams Sports Reporter If Josh Rosen first game as the UCLA starting quarterback is any indication, the freshman signal caller may be headed in a direction that we have never seen at UCLA. He looked better than former Bruin and Super Bowl champion quarterback Troy Aikman. Last Saturday at the Rose Bowl Rosen completed 28 out of 35 passes for 351 yards for three touchdowns with no interceptions. From his first pass to the last every one of his passes appeared to be right on target like Aikman use to do when he was in Westwood. Bruin...
