It appears true because USC’s stats show him playing in only four games this season. Why does it matter? He is still listed as a starter on USC’s depth chart and was not listed in the injury … Continue reading USC Notes: Under The Radar Lineup Switch
How is this playing with Jen Cohen? She was already fed up enough with Lincoln Riley to bring in Chad Bowden. Now she has to watch USC lose in exactly the same way as it did before. Who imagined before the season USC would have the 103rd-ranked pass defense in the nation going into the Michigan game?

This is what Lincoln Riley said after USC lost to Illinois: “We’ve got to bounce back in the bye week. We’re not a very healthy team right now.” USC’s not healthy?
