  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA winning record is the threat? Okay, I'm listening.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe New York Post says there are three pathways to the playoff that could save his job, but the Trojans' schedule is, and I quote the Post, different.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentDosage, three pathways. Warning, the schedule. Side effects, a coach sweating through his visor.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMildly worried, mostly for Riley. And my own label check: dosage, one Kenji per day, side effects include laughing against my will.
