USC had a pretty good defensive performance Saturday but it’s amazing how quickly the quotes and reactions go over the top. Did Utah play its first game of the season? Were quarterbacks Cameron Rising and Jake Bentley awful? It didn’t matter because Clay Helton never mentioned either of those things in evaluating the performance.

Does this latest production from BLVD Studios move you or are you not hip enough? It strikes me as a mish-mash of Mandalorian and USC football clips. But someone explained to me the video inadvertently means Clay Helton is the enemy of USC football. If you have to explain all this, it means the video is not good. Ngl this video makes no sense at … Continue reading Friday Night Hype
