USC Morning Buzz: One Area In Need Of Improvement

If there was one area where USC can improve this week vs. Georgia Southern, it is special teams (big surprise). The Trojans got a delay of game penalty because they had only nine men on the field for an extra point and had a couple penalties on special teams. It doesn’t matter when you win, 73-13, but when USC gets into a close game, it … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: One Area In Need Of Improvement

USC Notes: A Record For Game Balls

USC gave out seven game balls for the Missouri State game. Seven! Safety Bishop Fitzgerald, defensive end Garrett Pomerantz, tight end Carson Tabaracci, linebacker Matai Tagoa’i, tailback King Miller, offfensive line Kaylon Miller and kicker Ryon Sayeri received game balls.

USC Morning Buzz: Twelve Wins Or Nothing!

There is a segment of USC fans that are raising expectations — despite playing lowly Missouri State — so much that even one loss this season is going to cause them to be disappointed.

USC Morning Buzz: Who Was Winner Of The Week?

Yogi Roth has built an identity around USC and said during the Missouri State game the Trojan Knights “are keepers of the Victory.” He forgot to mention the “Bell” as in Victory Bell. That’s kind of important. “I have so much gratitude for having been a Trojan,” Helton said. One thing I like is Sermons wears No. 42, the number of Ronnie Lott. WINNER OF … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Who Was Winner Of The Week?
