It's not often that a freshman football team can inspire excitement in a community, but that's what the Fallbrook High Freshman Football Team has done in racing out to a 5-0 record this year. Even more impressive - they've given up only one touchdown this season - the lone score coming last Thursday against Escondido High. While excitement might be a strong word, at the very least, they are giving the community hope that the Fallbrook football program might be headed for an...

The first step toward Southern California making a coaching change that seems inevitable occurred earlier this week when athletic director Lynn Swann stepped down. USC will hire an experienced AD it can trust to hire a new coach if necessary. On Saturday, the 24th-ranked Trojans (2-1) lost in overtime at BYU and replacing coach Clay Helton looked more necessary. The Cougars have beaten once-great programs the last two weeks, taking down flailing Tennessee and floundering USC, both in OT. Good for BYU, but the Cougars are... Full story
