You want to know why I’m critical of USC coach Andy Enfield? The final minute of last night’s loss to Western Kentucky was typical of tight games down the stretch during Enfield’s era.

One of the knocks against Clay Helton last season, even within the athletic dept., was that there was too little discipline inside the football program. So it is interesting that cornerback Jack Jones is missing spring practice to “focus on academics” and is suspended for the UNLV because of a team rules violation. What does that all mean? I’ve been told Jones was not attending … Continue reading Is USC Showing Some Discipline?
