08:25 AM ET 02.15 | In more than 30 years of coaching, Kevin O'Neill hasn't seen anything like what's happened to his USC squad this season. The Trojans, 6-20 overall, are 1-12 and in last place in the Pac-12 Conference. ... USC is down to six scholarship players and has had to use walk-ons. With five regular-season games and at least one Pac-12 tournament game remaining, the Trojans are safe from finishing with the worst winning percentage in the program's 105-year history. That distinction goes to the 1918 Trojans. According to school records, Coach Dean Cromwell's squad went 0-2 that season, losing twice to the Los Angeles Athletic Club. However, this season's team is on pace to eclipse the school record of 22 losses.

Maybe USC needs to quit cheating. Or at least quit being caught with hands in the cookie jar. That cookie jar I refer to is filled with cash for players. Try being honest and see what it gets you. Probably a losing season in football as well as basketball.

A good Death Penalty might wake then up or put then to sleep.

doubt its 1-12, but after 3 years of small recruiting classes, 6-6 may be around the corner.

That'll wake up OT

Just yanking your chain, van......nothing personal.

Good luck to ND in 2012. If you make BCS or end up ranked in top 15, you will have earned it.

that would happen to UTK too. Bama could go 1-12 and their win would be against Tennessee.

Bama could never go 1-12. That's crazy talk. They would play cupcakces like Washington State before that happened.
