Cloth. Condition: USED_VERYGOOD. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. This work tells the story of a once-proud football program's return to glory after years of disappointment. USC's Trojan rout of Oklahoma in the 2005 Orange Bowl completed a turnaround as dramatic and inspiring as its fall from grace was shocking. It takes the reader behind the scenes to meet the players and coaches who revived the nation's most successful college football program. The book contains photographs, illustrations, charts, appendices, and an index. References include Heisman winners O. J. Simpson, Marcus Allen, and Charles White. There is minor rippling to upper page corners; otherwise, this copy is clean and solid. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, inscribed on the title page. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 018365
