In our homecoming edition of the USCFootball.com War Room we talk about how the USC defense can slow down Stanford's Toby Gerhart.

We also get reaction from Allen Bradford and Taylor Mays after they met NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown and update you on the latest recruiting rumors.
More details of what is inside:
  • We have reaction from some of the players who were surprised by a visit from one of the greatest football players to ever live, Jim Brown. Tailback Allen Bradford was one player that was particularly impressed with meeting Brown, because of their similar running styles.
  • Defensive tackle Armond Armstead may have broke his wrist, be he isn't letting that stop him from getting on the field. We have an update with Armstead and how he handles playing with a cast.
  • Stanford's Toby Gerhart is a load to bring down, so we checked in with some of the USC defenders to see how they plan to stop this bruising tailback.
  • Next week Palmdale (Calif.) four-star cornerback Joshua Shaw will announce his college decision. We talk about which schools are left and why he is more likely to pick one over the others.
  • Another four-star cornerback on USC's radar is Corona (Calif.) Demetrius Wright. Wright isn't making an immediate decision, but he could drop some hints during his US Army All-American ceremony next week.
  • With receiver and punt returner Damian Williams out for the Stanford game, tailback Joe McKnight's role will be expanded in more ways than one.
  • Plus plenty more!
