Drew Richmond, an offensive tackle from Tennessee, is visiting USC this weekend. He entered the NCAA transfer portal in January. Tennessee’s offensive line was a mess last season so maybe that is why Richmond transferred. How bad was it? The offensive line was ranked last in the nation (130th) in “stuff rate,” which measures the percentage of carries by running backs that are stopped at … Continue reading Graduate Transfer Visits USC
Did you see Dr. Dre posted on Instagram that his daughter got accepted to USC? “My daughter got accepted into USC all on her own. No jail time!!!” That comment was believed to be a pointed jab at the parents like Lori Laughlin who paid six figures to get their kids admitted into schools like USC. (UPDATE: It appears Dr. Dre has removed the post). … Continue reading Sunday Buzz: Some USC Reforms Will Take Longer Than Others
These are the big revelations from Saturday’s scrimmage: JT Daniels lost 10 pounds! This is good because a USC coach used to tell me last season, “Does he look like a football player?” A big running back (Markese Stepp) is hard to stop. And even harder to get on the field last year. Stepp got only 7 carries last season. Amon-Ra St. Brown can can … Continue reading Did You Learn Anything With Spring Practice 40 Percent Over?
It’s really a full-on scrimmage but USC did some scrimmaging Saturday. The offense remains a work-in-progress as it continues to learn the Air Raid. Safety Talanoa Hufanga fell hard to the ground and favored his right shoulder. He broke his collarbone last season. “He’s been in non-contact this whole time and just fell and something tweaked,” Clay Helton said. “We’ll have to see exactly what it … Continue reading USC Holds First “Scrimmage”
Gus Ruelas/USC Rick Caruso, chairman of the USC Board of Trustees, made an interesting comment about the College Admissions scandal. “Everybody needs to be held accountable,” Caruso said. “We need to investigate it, fix the problem and move on.” So how does Caruso define being accountable? Should Lynn Swann be held accountable for Donna Heinel’s actions? Should Swann be punished because Heinel was allowed to … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: What Is Definition Of Accountability?
One argument I still hear every once in awhile about keeping Clay Helton is that he won a Rose Bowl and Pac-12 title. Well, in 1950, USC coach Jeff Cravath was forced to resign after going 2-5-2. Cravath had four won Pacific Coast Conference titles and went to four Rose Bowls. But he still got fired after that bad season in 1950. And one of … Continue reading A Historical Precedent For Firing Clay Helton
