USC kicker Mario Danelo found dead at bottom of cliff

Mario Danelo, a kicker for the USC football team, was found dead Saturday in San Pedro, Calif.

Danelo’s body was found at the bottom of White Point Cliff in San Pedro, according for a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department. Police did not release further details.

A tragedy to be sure, and no doubt this taints their Rose bowl win. But you can be sure Northern Colorado punter Rafael Mendoza is glad his backup Mitch Cozad didn’t think of something like this.
