The USC scrimmage on ESPN on Saturday will actually be one half of a football scrimmage, according to Lincoln Riley.
“We just don’t quite have enough bodies,” Riley said.
This a bit of a comedown from Saturday, when Riley said, “I can tell you this, it’s not going to be a game of tag. We’re going to play football.”
But USC cannot field two full squads right now so instead of a full spring scrimmage it will be a half-game scrimmage. At least tickets are free.
Below is what former USC kicker Parker Lewis said after attending the Ohio State scrimmage. He has not chosen a new school yet.

Parker, that’s what it’s like when you play for a Clay Helton coached team…and worse if it’s Chip Kelly coached.

Nothing else to do in Columbus. And by nothing, I mean nothing. You gotta win, and win a lot, for people in SoCal to take time away from the hundreds of other distractions competing for your attention. I can’t stand tOSU, but if I lived in Columbus, I’d still probably go to the spring game. Why? What else am I gonna do? Enter one of the 147 weekly cornhole tournaments?

Half a scrimmage to go along with half ass coaching.
There’s no difference between ‘Ol Mule Shoe and Clueless Clay.
Soft practices, avoid contact, which means no tackling. The regimen mirrors a girls powder puff league.
No wonder ‘Ol Mule Shoe has closed practices…shameful.
LOL!

Dear Parker,
Hope you pick The Ohio State as your final college football destination. Hope we see you in the Rose Bowl —there should be plenty of people watching.

But it was such good stuff it deserved to be run again, MG
I have been to Columbus, and besides football you can go down to the river’s edge and watch the muddy water rolling by.
One of the SC players said Wiley’s offense is not much different than Helton’s. Figures. How many different ways can a guy throw or catch a football?

In that same time with the media where LR made the “tag” comment he also mentioned playing a half of football, it’s not new. Pay attention little buddy, it will help with your “reporting”.
