The Trojans look to be reversing that course, though. They are off to their best start on the field (4-1) since 1999, when the Trojans won their first nine games en route to a Southland Conference Championship and a I-AA quarterfinals berth.
Could another conference championship and postseason berth be next for this set of Trojans? You betcha, and attitude has plenty to do with it.
Sure, the Trojans possess more talent and depth than in recent years past, but mental fortitude really powers this team. Saturday’s 34-13 victory over Idaho offers a snapshot of how that is.
