USC Trojan Football Analysis

This site is dedicated to the study of USC Trojan Football and spreading some of the concepts of Coach Pete Carroll. During the regular season I chart plays, formations, collect down and distance data as well as other performance related information. In addition I clip pictures, create short videos, and collect articles and speeches given by the the coaching staff for educational purposes. In the off season I study the game film again to help pass the time. Once the season starts up I'll post some game summary and statistical information usually a couple days after each game. I hope you enjoy the website. Contact USC TFA

Most Recent Articles & Updates

The off-season is now in full force I'm afraid. After the Super Bowl things will really slow down. A few more days and at least we'll hear some more news about college football recruiting. I have a few more season ending trends to post on scoring and defense which should be done in the next week or two. Then I'll probably move onto some more "general purpose" articles about football and specific types of plays for learning purposes. An example is the outline of the Cal Bears play action pass concept detailed below. Posts will likely be more infrequent and less USC centric for the next few months.
