USC’s odds to win the national title are 50-1 according to Caesar’s Palace. That seems high to me especially with Clay Helton and JT Daniels leading the way. Here’s the rest of the Pac-12: Oregon 40/1 Washington, USC 50/1 Utah 75/1 Washington State, UCLA 100/1 Stanford, Arizona, Cal 200/1 Arizona State 300/1 Colorado 1000/1 Oregon State 5000/1   AND here are the favorites, otherwise known as … Continue reading USC’s National Title Odds

Do you think players feel … Continue reading The Clock Is Ticking On Hiring A Strength Coach

Before it was announced last week, a USC wide receiver told me that he asked wide receiver Bru McCoy if he would change his mind once he decided to transfer. “If they fired Clay Helton and hired Tom Herman,” McCoy reportedly said. Continue reading One Way To Get Bru McCoy Back To USC

Hunter Hill, an offensive tackle from Orem, Utah, has been offered a scholarship by USC and will visit this weekend.
