Former USC linebacker Willie McGinest was recently on the All the Smoke podcast and this was one comment about the current state of the football program. “We haven’t done what we are supposed to do. We fell short. He has delivered a Heisman Trophy winner in Caleb Williams. But as far as the standard for the school we have underchieved and we need to get … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: A Take On State Of The Program
Former USC wide receiver Robert Woods retired this week. I’ve never seen a freshman receiver arrive at USC and learn the play book so quickly or run such precise routes.

USC plays Illinois tonight and thinks it found a way to entice fans to show up at the Galen Center. It will offer $8 beer, $7 wine and $5 nachos at the Galen Center Hall of Fame. The catch is these prices will only be in effect until 20 minutes before tipoff. “Do I have to stay for the game?” a USC fan asked me.
