Nothing amazes me more than people who are aware of USC’s shortcomings under Clay Helton but still try to defend him. It’s definitely a group decreasing in size but they cling to Helton winning a Rose Bowl and Pac-12 title as proof he has been a successful coach. They don’t care that USC is on a downward trend.

Isn’t it also convenient that one of the players featured is quarterback JT Daniels? He needs some image rehab too after last season and you can bet the USC … Continue reading USC Is Working Hard, Just Ask Them
