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 gave out seven game balls for the Missouri State game. Seven!

It’s a delusional segment of the fan base that seems to relish being in fantasy land. This is why they echo support for a weak schedule. They want to win and … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Twelve Wins Or Nothing!
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.
