RENTON Pete Carroll knew to watch USC’s season opener through to the end last weekend.
He sensed an old friend was about to perform one of the better moments anyone will ever see in college football. And Carroll cried when it happened.
Jake Olson, a long snapper who lost his eyesight when he was 12 a couple years after Carroll befriended him in Southern California, snapped on the Trojans’ final extra point of their 49-31 victory over Western Michigan at Saturday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. That’s the stadium Carroll used to preside over as SC’s head coach until Carroll arrived to lead the Seahawks in 2010.
