Kris Richard recognizes a play coming his way through his experience and expertise, uses his God-given talent enhanced by technique taught him by a dedicated coaching staff, and jumps a pass route to intercept a pass in the closing minutes of a game, runs it back 58 yards for a touchdown to secure victory and The Times headline reads, “USC Gets a Lucky Break.”

No wonder nobody from USC returns your phone calls.
