USC long snapper Jake Olson, who is blind, makes game debut vs. Western Michigan
USC called a timeout before attempting an extra point after the No. 4 Trojans scored a touchdown late in the fourth quarter of their 49-31 win against Western Michigan. They put in Jake Olson, a redshirt sophomore long snapper, who has been involved with the USC football program since 2009, when he lost his eyesight at the age of 12 due to cancer.
It was the first snap of Olson's career and it was on the money. Kicker Chase McGrath's point after attempt was good, giving the Trojans their final point in their season-opening victory.
Roll Tide!
Looked good so for; hopefully we keep it up.
Crap! This is from a Gator fan living in Bama. It's looks like another championship run for the Tide.
Frank Beamer was kind of like the football version of Coach Knight . If you give those guys any 11 guys and a summer . They can probably compete against you .Crap! This is from a Gator fan living in Bama. It's looks like another championship run for the Tide. Dammit.
The only thing I'll always wonder about Saban is how great of a Xs and Os coach is he? The reason I say this is that he's had the number one recruiting class almost every year. He's obviously a very good technical coach but is he great? It's impossible to answer since he has the best players. For example guys like Frank Beamer and Chris Peterson had like the 50th ranked recruiting classes but usually finished in the top 20. And then there's guys who have top ten classes and finish much lower.
