Sep 1, 2010
COLUMBIA, SC - September 1, 2010 - On August 31, the Voice of USC's Football Gamecocks, Todd Ellis, presented a spirited preview of the 2010 football team. He stated that he strongly believes this year's team is second to none over the years in terms of talent. That, coupled with a top-tier returning defense unit and excellent special teams, the outlook for USC's season is bright, provided the offensive line performs in a respectable manner.
