Lincoln Riley needs to refund a portion of his salary tonight. Was that the worst final seconds? How many bad decisions did Lincoln Riley make? USC is awful tonight, win or lose. Again, no physicality from USC tonight. If you want to post a comment about the game tonight, here’s the place. USC has 21 points against Johnny Nansen with 5:44 left in the third … Continue reading USC-Arizona Forum
OK, it’s time once again for USC to face an opponent it should easily outscore. Will it? Arizona’s defense is not good. It’s offense is, frankly, overrated. This game has rout written all over it. Except . . . so have several other USC games recently and look how they turned out? Is this the game USC finally plays four quarters? Is it possible with … Continue reading Pick The USC-Arizona Score
Cornerback Domani Jackson is not expected to play tonight vs. Arizona, according to On3. Jackson appeared to hurt himself while making a tackle after giving up a 27-yard completion against Colorado but there was no indication from Lincoln Riley this week that he might not play. If Jackson is out, the options at corner are Ceyair Wright and Jacobe Covington. I would say it could … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Secondary Depleted

Road games: Mississippi, Penn State, UCLA, Wisconsin, Indiana, Rutgers. Do … Continue reading Will USC Actually Play Mississippi?

Lead singer Martin Fry did a lengthy interview before the concert, which included talking about the music scene in his native Sheffield, England. Other local bands from the era included Def Leppard, Human League and Pulp. It was all part of Trojan Family Weekend. The concert reminded me of so many … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
Looking at the Big Ten schedules for 2024-28, I feel like it’s not quite as attractive as I imagined. USC only plays Michigan or Ohio State but not both in any single season. In 2025, USC doesn’t even play Ohio State or Penn State. In fact, the Trojans play Penn State every other year. The first game at Iowa is not until 2027. The first … Continue reading The Big Ten Schedules Lost Some Luster
