The kickoff options for the USC-Notre Dame game on Nov. 30 are 12:30 p.m., 4 p.m. or 4:30 p.m PT. A decision will be made after Saturday’s games. Continue reading USC Notes: Does Crosstown Rivalry Have Juice?

I’ve got one question this week: Will Lincoln Riley go through the motions on Saturday the way he did in last year’s Crosstown Rivalry? In my mind, it was his worst performance since he arrived at USC. He acted like he didn’t care on the sideline and the team reflected his attitude.

QB Julian Lewis finally decommitted from USC. And QB Husan Longstreet of Corona Centennial immediately flipped from Texas A&M to USC. I can’t stress how over I was all this nonsense about where Lewis was going to go to college. It took me about five seconds for me to find someone saying Longstreet was better.

Does USC committing pass interference in the end zone on final play make up for the end of the Penn State game? Wow. A QB option run followd on same drive by a QB keeper for a TD. It only took 10 games for the genius to figure it out. Jayden Maiava is unpredictable. Dylan Raiola is awful. The Trojans take a 21-17 lead as … Continue reading USC-Nebraska Live Blog

A USC assistant coach in charge of out-of-state recruiting read the letter and never got back to Rodgers and didn’t tell John McKay about the talented player. So Rodgers went to Nebraska, … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Ready For New Look?
