USC coach Clay Helton was asked last night why he was the right coach to lead the Trojans going forward? “Thank you for that question, I appreciate you,” Helton said. “I’ve been here 10 years, and I believe in being a servant to this university and to the young men that are here. “Each and every day I wake up and represent them and our … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Clay Helton Says Why He Is Right Coach Going Forward
Clay Helton has to know it’s over. What a pathetic performance. Oregon came into the Coliseum ready to fail and USC let them off the hook and then gave up. I have said forever that Helton is not a leader of men and tonight he was also done in by his poor coaching hires: John Baxter, Clancy Pendergast, Graham Harrell.

OK, the refs botched the interception. Tyler Vaughns got leveled. Oregon scores another TD. Boy did the USC coaches screw up letting Oregon back in the game. Reggie Bush … Continue reading USC-Oregon Live Blog

The only football game USC played outside of the United States was in 1985 against Oregon in the Mirage Bowl in Tokyo, Japan. USC won, 20-6. I went to Tokyo and stayed at the team hotel. The beds were too small for most football players. Both teams dressed at the hotel for the game because the locker rooms at National Stadium were not adequate. Both … Continue reading The Strangest USC-Oregon Game Ever
