Sid the Kid is back in Business

Crosby was given a concussion during a hard hit to the head by Hedman.

Without a doubt, Crosby has proven to be one of the most effective forwards in the current NHL. However, his career was put to a year-long halt when given a concussion by Tampa Bay's Victor Hedman. This not only left his team wondering how to move forward, but it also "forced the league to take a harsher stance when it comes to policing head hits." Already at the first quarter-point in the NHL season, will he return as the same astounding player?

On a more local level, USC nearly blew a "24-point lead at Eugene but secure a heart-stopping win when the Ducks fail to convert a tying field-goal." What was supposed to be an expected beat down from Oregon, turned out to be a 3-point victory for the underdog, USC.

There is no doubt that "the Trojans re-established themselves as a college football power Saturday." By defeating the former #4, they will surely be placed in a higher position that will gear them toward a much better next year with their punishment coming to an end.
