Here’s a warning from USC for those coming to the Cal game on Saturday. “USC fans will be able to access parking lots at Expo Park beginning at 1 p.m. Parking for USC fans will also be available on campus beginning at 1:30 p.m. LAFC fans will not be allowed to park on campus prior to their match, so we do not anticipate interruptions to campus parking.” Remember … Continue reading USC Just Says No To LAFC
It’s time to break out the Justin Wilcox picture. Wilcox reportedly turned down the Oregon job last year. Think he regrets that today? Cal is 3-5 overall and 1-4 in the Pac-12. Let’s look at the Cal offense: Cal has the sixth-worst offense among Power 5 schools. Cal is No. 1 for having the longest average distance to go on 3rd down among Power 5 … Continue reading It’s Cal Week! Did You Forget?
Like Lincoln Riley, I don’t care about the College Football Playoff rankings. But I do care about the Pac-12 race and who plays in the championship game.

Look, it’s Cal this week. Should anyone be too stressed if everyone plays? Especially with Colorado the following week. The College Football Playoff … Continue reading USC Notes: Don’t Ask Lincoln Riley About CFP Rankings

Williams again was why USC won the game. Grade: A- RUNNING BACK Travis Dye just produced another workmanlike 100-yard performance. For all the talk of rotating backs at the beginning of the season, Austin Jones hardly … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC-Arizona Report Card
