Here’s is USC coach Clay Helton after Tuesday’s practice on waiting until next week to name a starting QB: “I want to make sure I’m right, too.” Extending the competition to next week is good for the morale of the players. But I don’t know why Helton needs to make sure he is right. Unless he remembers he was wrong two years ago. But not … Continue reading Clay Helton Wants To Make Sure He Is Right On QB Decision

  USC announced field-level seats are available for five games: UNLV; Washington State, Colorado; Arizona State and Cal. The seats are in the shaded area of the above illustration, which are some of the best seats in the Coliseum. Were season ticket sales slow? Did the malaise of last season take a toll?

He was 12 of 20 passes for 108 yards with an interception and no touchdowns. He gained 49 yards in six carries. It should be noted Mater Dei did have five-star receiver Bru McCoy, who had 32 yards receiving in the … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz
