There are very few college football teams as iconic as the USC Trojans, and luckily for Throwbacks we have one of the greatest Trojans of all-time in Matt Leinart to talk about what it’s like to play for USC. Over the course of the show’s two seasons, Matt has taken the audience behind the scenes discussing some of the hidden moments and letting the world know just how great it was to be the quarterback of the National Champion USC Trojans. Whether it’s a date with Riahnna, or a practice pass to Will Farrell, or looking back at the legendary Bush Push or just what it was like to play with Reggie Bush, Matt tells it all and more on this special edition of Throwbacks.
