Did anyone finally wake up regarding USC’s pass defense Saturday? I’ve cautioned about the pass defense being a team weakness for months but it was even worse than I imagined it would be Saturday against Purdue. Let me be clear: Purdue was not the first test of the season. The Boilermakers are well-coached but extremely limited athletically in Barry Odom’s first year.

It’s much easier to back-and-forth at the Exposition Blvd. entrance despite the large crowds. Thank you interim president Beong-Soo Kim. Not-so … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

For example, the depth chart updated last night lists Micah Banuelos as the backup left guard but he started the Georgia Southern game at right guard and is expected to start again on Saturday at Purdue. The depth chart basically hasn’t changed since training camp on the web site even though … Continue reading USC Depth Chart Needs Makeover
