A Great Thanksgiving Read

L.A. Times sportswriter Bill Plaschke has written one of his trademark heartwarming stories, this time about Pete Carroll and the USC Trojan football team taking a developmentally disabled young man under their wing.

It's guaranteed to make you smile, and maybe bring a tear to your eye as well.

Love those Trojans!

The Trojans play Arizona State today, possibly fighting for a trip to the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.

Fight on!

Update: Trojans win, 44-24!
