Book Reviews of Conquest: Pete Carroll and the Trojans' Climb to the Top of the College Football Mountain
Book Review: WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME!
Summary: 5 Stars
When the 2004 season ended, many USC fans were filled with hubris, thinking it was just another step in our march towards replacing Notre Dame as the greatest of all college traditions. Perhaps this march will continue over the next few years, but one nine-yard Vince Evans TD run turned the 2005 team from the best ever to that other list which includes the '79 Trojans, '83 Cornhuskers, '54 Indians. . . Close but no cigar.
SOOOO. . . This book turns into that piece of history to be cherished, and both Gary Klein and David Wharton were with Pete Carroll's juggernaut every step of the way. Upon reflection, this - not the '05 team - is Carroll's best team up to the 2006 season. One is inceasingly thinking we will never see their likes again, not just at Troy but in all college football.
Who is better than the 2004 Trojans? The 1972 Trojans. Maybe the 1995 Nebraska team. Few if any others. This is an inside look at this greatness, and for those who need to research USC and the collegiate game, it is invaluable as a resource.

Summary of Conquest: Pete Carroll and the Trojans' Climb to the Top of the College Football Mountain

USC?s rout of Oklahoma in the 2005 Orange Bowl completed a turnaround as dramatic and inspiring as its fall from grace was shocking.
