When Lincoln Riley said he planned to win a championship at Southern California over the summer at the Pac-12 Media Day, many people scoffed at the notion. It turns our Riley was right, whether it was hubris or faith that led him to believe he would impact the culture and success at USC in his first year. As he predicted, the Trojans are primed at a title run after their season's 10-1 start. After USC stormed into the Rose Bowl and etched out a 48-45 win over UCLA Saturday night, they can make...

The Los Angeles Chargers are coming off their bye week and heading into Week 9 of the regular season with a 4-3 record and several key injuries to their top players. The Chargers could have used help at wide receiver or on the offensive line but were unable to strike a deal before the trade deadline on Tuesday at 1:00 PM. It can be difficult to find a trading partner and the price the Chargers would have paid in terms of draft capital and in salary cap space was likely to high for General...

In the 2022 Pac-12 Preseason Media Poll, the Utah Utes were the pick to win the Pac-12 football title. The defending Pac-12 champion Utes received 26 of the 33 first-place votes. The UCLA Bruins were picked to finish fourth in the conference and received no first-place votes. With the first half of the regular season complete, it would appear that the media got it wrong.

There is not much that seems to rattle UCLA Bruins head football coach Chip Kelly, the unflappable leader of UCLA football.

The Bruins came out flat against the Jaguars, and the crowd of 29,344 fans also seemed flat, as the Jaguars played an...

As the late great former Ohio State head coach Woody Hayes once said, "There can be no great victories in life without great adversity."

When Lincoln Riley was hired as the head football coach at USC last November, he knew what he was walking into. The Trojans football team is a blueblood football program that had won one Pac-12 conference title in the past 13 years. They were coming off a 4-8 season, which included a thrashing from their cross-town rivals, the UCLA Bruins, 62-33. One might assume that Riley would be cautiously optimistic about the prospects for the 2022 Trojans football. That would be wrong. When asked about...
