What a season for linebacker Palaie Gaoteote. He transferred to Ohio State and played in seven games, making eight tackles with half a sack and a fumble recovery. Presumably, he can return for another season if he chooses. Michael Pittman caught 12 passes for 82 yards yesterday for the Indianapolis Colts. It’s funny to think Clay Helton was starting Jalen Greene at wide receiver but … Continue reading USC Sunday Notes
In my annual Christmas tradition, here is my all-time favorite USC picture.Hollywood screen legend Greta Garbo was sent to USC in 1926 to pose for some publicity photos with the track team.

She is with a USC track assistant coach in the above photo. … Continue reading Merry Christmas!

He famously left USC during training camp after getting a look at Sam Darnold. Is there any reason … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
Has anyone heard anything about Graham Harrell or Todd Orlando since the end of the season? Not a word on their departures from USC. Harrell has really gone underground, especially when you consider he was making more than $1.2 million and got a three-year contract in December, 2019. He will probably try to get an NFL job but it might be difficult to get a … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: What Happened To Graham Harrell And Todd Orlando?
USC’s leading tackler last season, linebacker Kana’i Mauga, announced he will enter the NFL Draft. I have to say that USC’s got few linebackers on the roster and fewer good ones. This is feeling like a problem area like the offensive line. USC has signed only one linebacker so far, Garrison Madden, who is a three-star from Georgia. It tried to get Daiyan Henley, who … Continue reading It’s Not Just Offensive Line That Needs More Help
