As a long-time 'SC fan, and an Alumni (class of 98), I was looking for great things from this DVD. After all, anything that advertises itself as "the complete history of USC football' sounds awesome. Certainly, this DVD does contain many important segments descrbing the early days of USC football. Fans are treated to short biographies on Coach McKay and Coach Jones, along with a few others. The birth of the USC / ND rivalry is briefly discussed, as are a few of 'SC's award winning athletes. However, one disc is hardly enough to cover one of the most historic football programs in college history. The DVD leaves you with an incomplete feeling, almost as if it was intended to tease more than to cover in full. The Trojan teams of the 80's and 90's are given only a few minutes of coverage. That's right, no Marcus Allen, no Ronnie Lott, no Junior Seau. It is almost as if the 80's and 90's never existed, aside from a quick "the Trojans fell from glory in the decades of the 80's and 90's" comment. Everything really feels rushed and incomplete. The DVD fails to create a personal feeling for the viewer, and unless you know a great deal about USC football, this DVD will do nothing to educate you; sort of like what a UCLA student would feel after graduation. Overall, a B+, and that is a generous B+. We want more than just a taste of the glory, we want the whole story!Read full review
Difficult to include everything about USC football into one dvd but this is a really nice overview of the history of the program. Really enjoyed the video.

Fantastic great for any USC fan! It gave the history at the beginning and brought it too the for front with Coach Carroll. I went to the Nike coaching clinic this past month and let me tell you they are for real. The temp, and Ora around that practice field is legitimate. By this enjoy it, but make your way down to SC and see the real thing.
