Here is the annual visit to Disneyland by USC and Michigan for the 1970 Rose Bowl. From the left, it’s Michigan coach Bo Schembechler, All-American tight end Jim Mandich, the Rose queen, USC linebacker/team captain Bob Jensen, USC All-American/defensive end Jimmy Gunn and USC assistant coach Marv Goux. Schembechler had a heart attack the day before the game and did not coach. Continue reading USC Picture Of The Day

During Mike Bohn’s media tour, he mentioned Ohio State’s projection it could host 22,000-50,000 fans for football games depending on the guidelines at the time. Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke also addressed the issue in an interview with the Arizona Daily Star. “At this point, with the information we have, I don’t foresee the ability to open the full stadium to capacity,” Heeke said. “It … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: Will Coliseum Be 20-60 Percent Capacity?

Lynn Cain gets overlooked at USC because he shared the backfield with Charles White but he averaged 5.2 yards per carry. And he had a pretty respectable NFL career, gaining 2,309 yards, mostly with the Atlanta Falcons. A lot of people who were fans of Roosevelt High School and East Los Angeles College still remember him too.

USC signed six offensive lineman from the Class of 2020. And it has three commitments for 2021. Eight of the nine are three stars according to Rivals. I’d be less hung up on stars if USC had a history of developing linemen under the current regime. Do stars matter? Offensive tackles Tyron Smith, Matt Kalil and Zach Banner were five stars. Chad Wheeler was a … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: A Question On Offensive Line Recruiting

USC received a commitment from offensive tackle Saia Mapakaitolo, a three-star prospect from Alemany High School. What’s funny is when I mentioned Oregon got four-star lineman Jonah Miller, some people said, “USC signed six linemen (in 2020), they don’t need more.” But USC has commitments from three offensive linemen in 2021, all three-star players. At least Tim Drevno is happy. The Trojans are Rolling! LA … Continue reading USC Picks Up 13th Commitment
