USC Notes: Fresno State Names QB

USC is finally selling single-game tickets to the Oregon game starting today. Prior to today, you had to buy a package with tickets for the Oregon game plus two other games.

  • Fresno State has named Jayden Mandal the starting quarterback. He has never started a game and appeared in six games in 2024. He did not play last season because he was injured.
  • I can’t imagine USC officials are thrilled that Paul Finebaum criticized them today.

    2. Chuckster, say it isn’t so! The one and only Martin Jarmond has been relieved of his duties as ucla athletics falls more and more into debt!

      Ouch! The mighty little gutties can’t stop spending their pocket money!

      1. KAM: Hard to believe a DEI hire would fail! Under Jarmond, UCLA’s athletic department ran a deficit of $21.6 million during the fiscal year ending in June 2025.

        DON: He succeeded DEI hire Chainti Dan Guerrero, who destroyed the alumni fan base for UCLA football by quadrupling the price of season tickets in 2015.

    1. Yeah, because apparently tens of thousands of people buy football tickets, sit through four quarters in the heat, just to get a 12-minute marching-band concert at halftime. Brilliant analysis. I’m surprised ESPN hasn’t hired you yet.”

      2. KAM: “12 minute marching band concert at halftime”? That’s weird, the band plays before the game, during the game, at halftime and after the game. Sounds like Cowardly Gabby has never attended a USC football game

        DON:. Cowardly Gabby is caught in another lie!

    2. KAM: They are honoring OJ with a special TV 4 episode TV show debuting Monday September 7th on the Investigation Discovery Channel.

      DON: It delves into his attempts to rebrand himself, including his controversial reality TV special, “Juiced”. A must watch!

        I thought Gabby said a few days back that she was going to the USC marching band pep rally today at the Palms at 2:00 and wanted to “meet up” with Scott. Instead, she spent the day trolling the blog. Once again a threat followed by a no show.

        That’s our Cowardly Gabby.

        All talk, no walk.

        DON: Cowardly Gabby caught lying once again, or as she puts it, “generalizing”!

  6. The “Juice Box” has nothing to do with O.J. It is a reminder to bring your energy and enthusiasm (juice) to the field

  7. Well looks like the Fresno St. offense is in for a very long day with the cited skill set of their starting QB one Jayden Mandel.

    This is where depth pays such huge dividends something lower tiered programs can’t copy.

    6:00 pm kickoff this Friday 4th September 2026 and all those ‘vals go home’ fans filling the Coliseum up.

    2. 100%, Alv! Fresno State’s Quarterback Unit is not listed in the Top 70 according to Phil Steele [who does a good job at the unit rankings year in and year out]. Mandal is rated the 81st best QB in college football…

  8. Fresno is supposed to have one of the worst quarterback units in the country [according to Phil Steele]. In fact, the only unit that’s supposed to be good is Special Teams [Fresno State #18, USC #20].
