Jack Disney has lived, breathed and written of SoCal's sports icons

SALT LAKE CITY — His Heisman Trophy gone, his team's national title hopes faded, Matt Barkley probably wondered what else could get snatched from him. How about the football? By some runny-nosed Utah sophomore? On USC's second play of the game? How...
