Gameday has arrived for USC, Ohio State

Gameday is at hand and the biggest questions for tonight's game at The Horseshoe in Columbus seem to be how USC freshman Matt Barkley will handle his first road game and just how the Trojans can contain Terrelle Pryor.

Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times has a preview of tonight's game.

Klein also has a note on Pete Carroll's return to Ohio State, where he was an assistant for two seasons in the late 1970s.

Carroll also recalled when he saw Woody Hayes and ran out of his office to meet the Ohio State icon.

"I went running out there across the parking lot to catch him and intercept him and kind of introduce myself and talk to him for the first time -- just like a little kid, man, which I was at the time," Carroll told the Los Angeles Times. "That was very cool to come back. . . . It's exciting to be here."
