USC is offering a hot dog and drink on Saturday for $10 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Coliseum in an effort to get fans into the stadium early against Michigan State. You would think the Trojans are hosting Ohio State this week, not a 17-point underdog. Did you see a USC fan survey completed this month said, “A strong majority (nearly 70% of students) thought … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
Alani Noa remains the starting right guard on this week’s depth chart while freshman Marcelles Williams starts again at cornerback.

It makes sense because defense is his area of expertise. Did you see Pete Carroll is going to be a coach at The Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Saudi Arabia on March 21? Carroll makes an estimated … Continue reading USC Notes: What Was Caesar Thinking?

Is it a bad thing that Harvey entered the Purdue as third-string on the official depth chart? Is it a bad thing that he was behind two redshirt freshmen (Braylon Conley, Marcelles Williams)?
