It’s Not Just Offensive Line That Needs More Help

USC’s leading tackler last season, linebacker Kana’i Mauga, announced he will enter the NFL Draft. I have to say that USC’s got few linebackers on the roster and fewer good ones. This is feeling like a problem area like the offensive line. USC has signed only one linebacker so far, Garrison Madden, who is a three-star from Georgia. It tried to get Daiyan Henley, who … Continue reading It’s Not Just Offensive Line That Needs More Help

Ford didn’t play the last two games because he was hurt and Monheim lost his starting job midway through the season. Even if Andrew Vorhees (who went from … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Offensive Line Prospects Wanted

USC Hires Offensive Line Coach

The deal to hire Houston offensive line coach Brandon Jones but Lincoln Riley hired Texas A&M offensive line coach John Henson on Sunday. I’m told Henson will make close to the $900,000+ being paid to USC assistant coach Donte Williams so a big play was made to get him to Los Angeles.
