The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was home to a touching moment Saturday, as blind long snapper Jake Olson made his first ever in-game appearance with USC during the 49-31 win over Western Michigan.
After extending their lead against the Broncos late in the fourth quarter, Trojans head coach Clay Helton called a timeout to sub in Olson, who delivered a perfect snap on the extra point before being congratulated by a slew of elated teammates.
