Is Korey Foreman ever going to live up to his five-star hype? As I noted after the Oregon State game, he didn’t play a single snap despite the fact Romello Height (shoulder) is out for the season.

The Trojan Dance Force will perform at a USC football game for the first time in its history on Saturday night. It’s long overdue. But it also seems like a reaction to the fact the Cardinal Divas performed at the Fresno State game and went viral. It had to miff the dance force, which has performed for more than 20 years, but never at a … Continue reading Saturday’s USC Game Will Be A Dance Spectacular
