Clay Helton beat No. 10-ranked Utah and got rewarded by being named the Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week. I guess Brent Brennan of San Jose State was undeserving after winning at Arkansas, 31-24. San Jose State was only 3-22 the previous two seasons. But Helton, with more talent on his roster than Utah, won a home game on Fox Sports with Reggie Bush and … Continue reading Clay Helton Wins Dodd Trophy Coach Of The Week
Are Pac-12 coaches naturally clueless or do they strive to look ridiculous? Utah coach Kyle Whittingham should fire his defensive coordinator today. What was the Utes’ defensive game plan? They are playing USC, which has good receivers. They just saw BYU give USC problems by dropping eight defenders back into coverage. So what does Utah do?

Clay Helton‘s coaching speciality is the quarterback … Continue reading Morning Buzz: Southern California Used To A USC Fortress
Clay Helton said QB Kedon Slovis is going through concussion protocol and he would have an update Tuesday. “He’s doing good, but he has to go through all the necessary steps.” Helton said of Slovis. Helton on USC beating Utah: “It felt almost like a playoff game. It was an electric atmosphere.” An electric atmosphere with 40,000 in the Coliseum?

I wrote about this on Sept. 2 and now it is official: Bryce Young has flipped his commitment from USC to Alabama. So now the perceived crown jewel of the recruiting class and only five-star is no longer part another average recruiting class. Or less-than-average by USC standards.
