Hey guys. I am someone who has always admired Coach Carroll's program from a distance and rooted for USC.

Over the last couple days, I've been shocked at the media's turn on the Trojans in light of their loss to Stanford.

Anyway, I wrote a column called "Defending Pete Carroll and the USC Trojans," because I don't think enough people really respect and appreciate everything this man has done, and how much he has overcome this year.

I hope you all will read and give honest feedback, whether you agree or disagree.

Thanks,

Aaron
