Clay Helton said QB Kedon Slovis is going through concussion protocol and he would have an update Tuesday. “He’s doing good, but he has to go through all the necessary steps.” Helton said of Slovis. Helton on USC beating Utah: “It felt almost like a playoff game. It was an electric atmosphere.” An electric atmosphere with 40,000 in the Coliseum? On the defense being unable … Continue reading Sunday Night With Clay Helton
I wrote about this on Sept. 2 and now it is official: Bryce Young has flipped his commitment from USC to Alabama. So now the perceived crown jewel of the recruiting class and only five-star is no longer part another average recruiting class. Or less-than-average by USC standards. The peanut gallery will say “who cares, Kedon Slovis is better” but Young’s decision was made before … Continue reading Bryce Young Flips From USC To Alabama
USC is ranked No. 21 in the AP Top 25 after its victory over Utah. How about Cal? The Golden Bears are ranked No. 15. Oregon is No. 13. Washington is No. 17. Utah is No. 19. USC is ranked No. 25 in the Coaches’ poll. The Trojans had 130 points while No. 26 Memphis had 109. AP poll below: 1 Clemson (4-0) 1 ACC 1,543 … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC Back Into Top 25

Those are scripted plays and it makes sense because there was talk of discontent last week with the fact St. Brown caught only one pass vs. BYU. And if Clay Helton doesn’t like something, it is an unhappy skill player. Remember two years ago when Michael Pittman’s … Continue reading USC Notes: Get The Stars The Ball
If the attendance was nothing special, there was a special atmosphere at the Coliseum on Friday night with Reggie Bush in attendance. I won’t get into Bush’s refusal to show contrition for his actions or his past comments putting blame on USC. He showed up and took a shot at Clay Helton. You don’t see that from Matt Leinart. The end-zone celebration with Markese Stepp … Continue reading Reggie Bush Creates Special Atmosphere
Did we all just watch a game with 27 penalties? It really reminded more of last year’s victory over Washington State, when JT Daniels was throwing jump balls to wide receivers against the Cougars’ hapless cornerbacks. Utah’s frailties were on full display. Bad secondary. No defensive adjustments. Bad offensive line. Insistence on running the ball up the middle despite little success. USC won despite showing … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: What A Pac-12 Product
