Miami is in the Sweet 16 for the second straight year. The Hurricanes were not in Associated Press Top 25 preseason poll. They have a 73-year-old coach (Jim Larranaga). They weren’t even favored to beat USC in the first round last season en route to the Sweet 16. They also don’t make excuses about injuries. They just play. Some teams just seem to thrive in … Continue reading USC Notes: Miami Does It Again
USC returns from spring break today and resumes spring workouts. It’s always a dilemma if it is better for USC to squeeze three practices in before spring break? Do players retain what they learned the first three practices when they immediately go out of town for a week? Especially if the coaches are trying to put any new aspects to the offense or defense.

Players play entire college careers and don’t get a taste. … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: A Decade Of Accomplishment
