I always say I have never seen a new strength coach come to USC and heard anyone say he wasn’t better than the predecessor. “The intensity is a lot higher, man it was a rude awakening,” tailback Markese Stepp said about Aaron Ausmus.

Remember, the Board of Trustees met in Santa Barbara over the weekend and Michael Quick and Carol Mauch Amir announced their departures Monday. That was no coincidence. When does the Board consider … Continue reading The USC Rumor Mill
