Road goes through El Camino

One comment from All-National Division, Northern Conference defensive lineman Jonathon Hollins resonated louder than any other about El Camino College. "There are people who say we haven't played anyone," said the College of the Canyons football sophomore. "Now we're going to find out."

Trojans pick Buckeyes

With the nation's No. 5 team's quarterback grimacing and squinting on the grass with under three minutes to play in the second quarter Saturday night at the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, a stampede of one kicked up turf right behind him.

Left no doubt

It's as if they couldn't wait any longer. Thus, whoever was in charge of the sound system at Cougar Stadium Friday night cued Freddie Mercury three seconds too early.

Who’s the champ?
