National Signing Day Recap

Typically, Signing Day has been an oppurtunity for the rich to get even richer. While USC and Florida still reeled in top ten finishes, downtrodden programs such as Alabama, Notre Dame and Miami, all had some of the best recruiting classes of 2008.

Breaking Down USCUSC struggled at times this season due to numerous injuries, most notably to left tackle Sam Baker, running back Stafon Johnson, and quarterback John David Booty.
