USC Notes: Makai Lemon Update

Makai Lemon ran the 40-yard dash between 4.48-4.53 seconds today at USC’s Pro Day according to Dane Brugler.

The discrepancy is normal because NFL scouts always hand-time the 40 and then they will get together and choose a time in that range that is the most popular.

The time is considered solid and doesn’t hurt Lemon because he is not known as a speed guy.

  • Here’s a curious thing about Eric Musselman. He played Jerry Easter 26minutes against Nebraska, 20 minutes against Washington and 13 minutes against UCLA. Then he played Easter zero minutes vs. Washington yesterday. Why? Who knows?

  1. In film clips being released by USC, Lincoln has 2 quarterbacks on the field for numerous plays. Handoffs between QB’s, QB releasing short pass to other QB. We might being doing some VERY different things in 2026…unfortunately “different” usually mean “slow developing” …which usually means “trouble.”

    1. I saw the same film MG. I thought the QBs were just practicing the RPO. Riley was playing defensive edge and the quarterback needed to make a decision to handoff, run, or pass based on the edge rusher’s movement. Maiava did not executed this well last year. He often handed it off when the edge rusher had committed to stopping the running back. He needs to fake and run more often.

  2. As I stated after the last game this week why didn’t he play Jerry Easter at all, and then benched Arenas towards the end of the game.

    Is Musselman really this stupid??? When a coach does this to a freshman it gives him no hope for next season because of a lack of confidence in his game., and as a result most of the time he transfers out to another school.

    Easter and Arenas are freshmen. They both should have started the last meaningless game instead of our graduating D-League transfers. Now that Musselman screwed up again I have serious doubt whether any elgible returning member of the team will actually return for next season which means another entirely new roster.
