The Trojan defense, which tops the country in turnover margin at nearly +2.0 a game, is led by All-American S Darnell Bing, plus DEs Lawrence Jackson and Frostee Rucker and LB Oscar Lua.
OG-OT Taitusi Lutui and OT Sam Baker, both All-Americans, anchor a veteran O-line. The Pac-10 record-setting Trojan offense, which is in the national Top 5 in every statistical category (including first in total yards with 580 and second behind Texas in scoring at 50), is the only school ever with a 3,000-yard passer (2004 Heisman-winning QB Matt Leinart, USC's second-ever 3-time All-American), a pair of 1,000-yard rushers (TBs Reggie Bush, the 2005 Heisman recipient and the nation's all-purpose leader, and LenDale White USC's career TD king) and a 1,000-yard receiver (All-American WR Dwayne Jarrett), with WR Steve Smith just 72 yards shy of 1,000 receiving yards. There are 9 All-Pac-10 first team Trojans, including 6 All-American first teamers. USC head coach Pete Carroll has a team featuring a potent offense and a vastly-improved defense. USC has had success against the Big 12, including a recent good run (and Troy has never lost in a bowl game against a Big 12 opponent). And Troy has never lost to Texas in 4 meetings, including the historically-significant 1956 game and the most recent encounter nearly 40 years ago in the Trojans' 1967 national championship campaign. USC has never lost a bowl game when ranked No. Texas owns a just-as-imposing 19-game winning streak. 1-ranked team for a national-record 33 consecutive polls, brings in a number of impressive winning streaks: a Pac-10-record 34 overall games, 16 non-conference games and an NCAA-record 16 games against AP Top 25 teams (including 7 in a row over AP Top 7 squads). USC is the Rose Bowl's winningest team, while Texas is making its second straight post-season visit to Pasadena. Not only is the Rose Bowl the "Granddaddy of All Bowl Games," but it is USC's home away from home (in fact, the Trojans won a national title the last time they played in the game). It's a matchup for the ages as the Trojans go after a historic national championship three-peat in a game featuring 2 of the nation's top traditional football powers, the last 2 Rose Bowl winners, the last 2 Rose Bowl MVPs, a pair of Heisman Trophy winners in the same backfield for the first time ever (and a Heisman runnerup on the other sideline), the nation's top 2 offenses and a pair of the game's elite head coaches. 2 Texas-meet in the BCS Championship Game in the 2006 Rose Bowl. In addition to coach Thompson and his team, due credit for this success should go to Hoya Blue, as well as the marketing and sales team, which has included McDonough staff members Kyle Ragsdale, Kim Frank, Steve Alleva, Andy Rowdon, Jordan Jarry, and Allison Rubin.College football's only remaining undefeated teams of 2005-top-ranked, 2-time defending national champion USC and No. This remarkable multi-year increase affects everything: 1) it provides sorely needed operating revenues 2) it gives our team something that approaches what a home court advantage is at most schools and 3) it dramatically expands the community of spirited Hoya fans and supporters. Today, the final 2008 numbers are just about in with 9,600 tickets sold (3,000 students). Last year, upon further strengthening the sales efforts, 7,600 season packages (2,250 students) went out.

In 2006, after expanding the marketing team, the numbers escalated to 4,400 tickets (1,200 students). In 2005, coach Thompson III's first year on the bench, total season tickets sold numbered 2,300 (including 800 student tickets). But more importantly, it is another step forward in targeted planned growth under athletic director Bernard Muir. Coming off an exhilarating run to the Final Four last season, that is no surprise. Season ticket sales took a sizable jump this year.
