USC football morning report
Quote of the day: “I used to like ‘SC growing up. I probably put it as one of my favorite teams growing up. Being from [California], I just kind of take it personally cause they -- in high school they recruited me but they didn’t say too much more when I got to junior college. So I just kind of take it personal. I’m going to go out there and do what I do best.”
-- Devontae Booker, Utah running back
