FOOTBALL UPDATE….Jeez, USC only needed eight plays to score four touchdowns in the first quarter against Arkansas. They’re running a clinic out there.

It’s 42-10 at the half. I have a feeling the Trojans are going to beat the point spread.

UPDATE: Final score: 70-17. The point spread took a serious shellacking tonight.
