Roundup: A day in the life of Jake Olson

Kyle Bonagura details a day in the life of USC blind long-snapper Jake Olson, who was named Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week for his perfect snap against Western Michigan.

Bonagura also takes a trip down memory lane to detail how Jim Harbaugh and Stanford upset USC as 41-point underdogs in 2007.
