USC Morning Buzz: Here’s One Stat That Always Seems Important

Do you know how many interceptions Caleb Williams threw in two seasons at USC? 10.

Jayden Maiava threw 10 interceptions last season alone. And another six in just four starts in 2024.

It’s important to remember he threw 7 interception in losses to Illinois, Notre Dame, Oregon, and TCU. At least he won’t have to worry about throwing any against Notre Dame this season.

  • USC has re-opened a pop-up shop at the Santa Anita mall in Arcadia. The original pop-up opened last fall but this is in a new location at the mall.
  • LSU canceled 2-game home and home series with Arizona State in 2029-30, per On3. I guess Lane Kiffin didn’t want to return to the site of his last game at USC.

    DON: That changes the perspective on those 7 interceptions

  2. DON: The times have changed since Coach McKay was directing SC bully-style running football, but he would always say how passing the ball had 2 poor possible outcomes and only 1 favorable one

    KAM: He would have to change his style today to accommodate the heavy emphasis on passing

  3. KAM: The Dodgers game uncommonly ended when a Philly baserunner abandoned 3rd base to try to return to 2nd base in order to allow access for the prior 3rd base holder to get back to the bag despite being in a rundown

    DON: The odds of making it out of a rundown are pretty slim, and he admitted it was a mistake to leave 3rd base
