In fact, USC has been a perennial power since my father was following the exploits of Howard Jones's teams in the 1920s. It had some relatively mild struggles in the 1990s and more recently for a few years in the wake of the exit of Pope of L.A. (Pete Carroll) but those were speed bumps that Trojan Nation promptly smoothed out. Today, order is restored. And I fume with envy.
