A strong finish is a big deal at Southern California. The coaching staff talks about it, the players, too.

Maybe not, but he certainly had a good campaign performance. If he does, Southern California should put a Notre Dame wing at Heritage Hall just to thank the Irish for hand delivering Heismans to the past four Trojan winners.

Running back Reggie Bush came out of the backfield to give Southern California a new big-play receiver. Bush caught three touchdown passes to help the top-ranked Trojans beat

No. 1-ranked Southern California can&#39;t claim perfection yet, needing to win two more games to finish 13-0 and as national champion.

Top-ranked and defending co-national champion USC opens its season tonight against Virginia Tech. Tampa&#39;s Mike Williams, the best football player not in the NFL - now officially the best college football player

One game into Bridgewater-Raynham's league schedule, the Trojans' season appeared to be over. After losing to Marshfield to open Old Colony League play Oct. 30, the Trojans figured their chances at surviving beyond Thanksgiving were as good as a turkey's. With only four teams in the league, Marshfield seemed a safe bet to garner its playoff berth.

It&#39;s still a USC/Oklahoma one two punch in the latest Bowl Championship Series poll. In fact, Oklahoma strengthened its lead over third place Auburn in this week&#39;s BCS poll; the Tigers were idle last week and have a huge game this week with Georgia.

Southern California could only stop Aaron Rodgers and California when it counted most. The top-ranked Trojans held the seventh-ranked Golden Bears out of the end zone after a first-and-goal with less than two minutes left and held on for a 23-17 victory Saturday.

The inexperienced receivers had a tough time getting open. The retooled offensive line had some trouble protecting the star quarterback. And the No. 1 team was trailing the 17 1/2-point underdog with 17 minutes left in the season opener. Southern California doesn't look unbeatable &#151; yet.

The No. 1 Trojans look to change the subject away from eligibility rulings and rape allegations. The preseason buzz out of USC has had little to do with football.

Forget about No. 1 rankings. Another number will be tested this week when USC plays Colorado State. It&#39;s a triple digit that bothered USC coach Pete Carroll each time he heard it last season.

Buster Davis's interception set up a 4-yard touchdown run by Joe Surratt with 1:56 left, and No. 9 Florida State rallied late to escape with a 24-17 victory over Troy last night in Tallahassee, Fla.

Obviously, Cal @ USC could be huge, but there are other ones that are at least worth a look as well. Surprisingly, Washington State is favored over Oregon, and by more than one point.
