Everyone's talking about the upcoming Ohio State at USC clash Saturday night, and that list includes Cris Carter and Keyshawn Johnson. The former Buckeye and former Trojan spent some time Wednesday afternoon to discuss the importance of the matchup and their feelings on topics related to the game.

Kickoff: 8:30 PM, EST TV: ABC Line: USC (-11) So…This is it. Number one versus number five. What we’ve all been waiting eighteen years for. This is why players like Malcom Jenkins and Josh Boone returned for their senior seasons. The game that is to prove what the Ohio State ...

As the Lakers prove 41 times a year (plus playoffs), LA loves an event, and no question tonight’s tussle at the Coliseum between Ohio State and your USC Trojans! qualifies. That means stars. Plenty of ‘em. While the rest of us struggle to call in enough favors to snag a ticket, or ...

It's a must-win for the Beavers, as a 0-3 record heading into a game with USC is not what we want.  I'm heading down to Reser for the game, and I hope to see you all there. If, however, you'll be watching the game from home, here's the place for pre-game, during game, and post-game ...

If tonight's USC-OSU game can be half as dramatic and exciting as last night's South Florida win over Kansas , we will be all set. (In terms of impressive single wins this season, I'd put USF's in the Top 5 -- USC-OSU winner, East Carolina over West Virginia, UCLA over Tennessee and I'll leave ...

USC is going to beat Ohio State, but I'm going to stop pushing this as a "de facto playoff" game. (Although I will still argue that it represents why the college football regular season rules .) Because, as I pointed out back before the season started, losing this game likely doesn't hurt that ...

Obviously they should be promoting what's arguably the best matchup of the College Football season, but I haven't seen them go to this degree before. Even with playoff games in professional Sports. First off they've dubbed it "The Collision In The Coliseum" and they've made a crawl for ...

Just wanted to inform you that I will be live blogging the Ohio State-USC game! Come to JSB at 7:50 pm EST on Saturday when I will start.

This weekend, I'm actually flying out to see Ohio State attempt to not get completely white-washed out of the Coliseum this Saturday night. (Current line, OSU getting 10.5 . Not gonna be enough, methinks.) Even if this is a colossal ass-kicking, this will be my first big-time college football game I've ever attended. (The Temple/Akron Zips game I went to 20 years ago really shouldn't even ...

We are going to take a look at the weekend in college football because it’s such a big weekend. Just think how much bigger it would be if it was two, three, four, or any number great than two years ago. You know, when Michigan and Notre Dame were good teams. Of course the biggest game of the weekend is Ohio State at USC. If this game goes like everyone thinks it’s going to, OSU will get ...

College football has changed immensely over the decades, but one thing has stayed the same: a game between USC and Ohio State is a big deal. With this week's No. 1 vs. No. 5 showdown on deck, members of the Buckeye squad talked about their memories of USC and what it means to play against one of college football's glamour programs.

My Tuesday column includes an item on Cris Carter in which he talks about his move from HBO to ESPN and his long-time aspirations for a TV career. Click below to read quotes from my sitdown with him last month that I couldn't fit in the newspaper. On leaving HBO: "I’ve been very fortunate in my life working with [HBO's] Ross Greenburg and Rick Bernstein and Bob Costas. It's ...

OSU Depth Chart (Click to enlarge) The depth chart for the USC game was released today and the only real change from last week is the elevation of Terrelle Pryor into the #2 spot at quarterback. Tressel had indicated that Pryor would be the backup for Boeckman last week though Bauserman was still listed as the backup on paper. Not to beat a dead horse, but the real tragedy with the ...

2008 OSU Depth Chart Depth chart for the USC game from the Ozone. Notable changes Pryor as the #2 QB, Saine as the #3 TB, and Donald Washington as the #2 CB on the field side. More on this later in the week, probably.

Most Ohio State fans probably did not keep a copy of the team's lackluster victory against Ohio University during the weekend. The Buckeyes themselves did, however, and the lessons learned from watching that film coupled with the feeling of disappointment stemming from the game might put OSU back on track this week heading into the USC game.
