SAN FRANCISCO -- On this Christmas day, with the Emerald Bowl just 30 hours away, many Trojans gave the most valuable thing they have.
Their time.
Part of a 5,000-meal effort on Christmas, the Trojans served holiday lunches to homeless and underprivileged at Glide Memorial Church in downtown San Francisco for about two hours today. The well-known philanthropic church, run by the legendary Rev. Cecil Williams, serves 900,000 people per year and has an annual operating budget of $18 million.
Fifteen Trojans, including seven starters, gave up part of their Christmases to serve at the event -- linebacker Michael Morgan, tailback Curtis McNeal, quarterback Matt Barkley, offensive lineman Jeff Byers, kicker Jordan Congdon, quarterback Garrett Green, quarterback Mitch Mustain, center Kristofer O'Dowd, fullback Stanley Havili, wideout Jordan Cameron, offensive lineman Mike Reardon, defensive end Kevin Greene, offensive lineman Alex Parsons, safety Taylor Mays and safety Will Harris.
