USC Trojans discuss the path the team has taken
Nov 11, 2026
Man, you just never know in college football.
I don't know.

that, that's all I care about. I appreciate being
much.
a part of this university and all it does, I appreciate
our kids and our staff and I'm going to continue
to fight on because that's what being a Trojan's all.
