Less than a month ago, USC couldn't get fans into the Coliseum.
A crowd of 64,715 was announced for the Trojans' Oct. 26 matchup versus Utah, but photos showed a stadium that looked barren and bored.
Fast forward to last Saturday's matchup versus defending Pac-12 champion Stanford. The coliseum, filled with 93,607 raucous "fans," saw the Trojans upset the Cardinal 20-17, and the crowd stormed the field.
Frankly, Trojan nation doesn't deserve the success interim coach Ed Orgeron and his team have given it. Along with the lack of attendance support, fans were booing the team, even after the Lane Kiffin era ended.
Sure, there are the diehards who stuck with their team, but attendance speaks for itself. The Coliseum has drawn quite well for years now because of the national power USC has been.
One bad stretch and the Coliseum was suddenly less popular than Steve Bartman in Chicago.
So, to all the Trojans' fans that stuck with the team, bravo.
And to the bandwagoners, please tell me where you were on the afternoon of Oct. 26.
