Is it weird that Kedon “515 yards passing” Slovis did not get a game ball but Carol Folt and Mike Bohn did? Anyways, I already discussed Kirk Herbstreit and Brian Griese giving full endorsements to Clay Helton returning next season. But ABC sideline reporter Molly McGrath also defended Helton on twitter. The USC HC job is one of the toughest in CFB, but Clay Helton’s … Continue reading National TV Media Endorsed Clay Helton

USC coach Clay Helton gave school president Carol Folt a game ball after the victory over UCLA. That means he gave game balls to Folt and Mike Bohn. Talk about a guy trying to press every button to save his job. I wonder if he called her “Coach Folt” like he said, “Coach Bohn” and “Coach Haden” and “Coach Nikias.” Continue reading Clay Helton Puts Political Skills To Work

Here is my column on where things stand with Clay Helton and Mike Bohn right now. Excerpt: “If he brings Helton back because USC won five of its final six games, Bohn must ignore the thousands of empty seats in the Coliseum on Saturday, as well a 2020 recruiting class that ranks 76th nationally.” What will Bohn do?

Did you hear Kirk Herbstreit defend Helton on the Oregon-Arizona State game? Just like Brian Greise did at the … Continue reading Mike Bohn Won’t Tip Hand

This was a typical Clay Helton victory. USC gets a lead and then has to hold off UCLA. We also saw the bad effects of Clancy Pendergast and John Baxter, which I predicted before the game. Did you hear Brian Griese‘s full-throated endorsement of Helton during the game? He said Helton deserves to return, of course. “It’s not about me, it’s about these kids,” Helton … Continue reading Discuss The USC-UCLA Game

Fake official crowd count: 64,156. Tyler Vaughns with a false start. He had one a couple weeks ago. Rare for a receiver. A $315 million renovation and the lights still go out at Coliseum. Kedon Slovis breaks 500 yards passing. Remember when the offense was going to be balanced? It’s Washington State with more talent. That’s great but tell me when that’s beaten Clemson, Alabama, … Continue reading USC-UCLA Live Blog
