USC Football Players React to ESPN Trojan War 30 for 30

USC football took center stage on Tuesday evening as “Trojan War” the latest “30 for 30” documentary aired on ESPN, recounting the rise and fall of the Pete Carroll era.

The film took viewers through the highs and lows of USC’s success in the first decade of the 2000s from Carroll’s arrival in 2001 through his departure in 2009 and beyond.

Players like Matt Leinart, Lendale White, Brandon Hancock and Dominique Byrd featured heavily in the 90-minute feature, but they weren’t the only ones who got comments in.

Here’s what some former and current Trojan players had to say during and after the film:
