I mentioned USC’s crazy schedule from 1964 yesterday as an example of how football has already emulated the new Big Ten schedule. This reminded me that 1962 also featured a wild stretch: Game 2: at SMU Game 3: at Iowa Game 4: Cal at Coliseum Game 5: at Illinois Imagine this was a volunteer schedule. Not some required to make $100 million. USC also played … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: The More Things Change . . .

But never say never. The program was hamstrung when a lot of athletes took advantage of an extra year because of COVID, which prevented signing new recruits that would … Continue reading Clearing Out The USC Notebook
What is it about Oregon and offensive linemen? The Ducks got a commitment from three-star offensive guard Devin Brooks. He also had USC and Washington in his final three and was supposed to visit the Trojans next weekend. Now it’s not really a surprise Brooks is going to Oregon. After all, he is from Clackamas, Ore.
