Does it matter that USC’s vaunted offense scored only two TD’s against Purdue? Look at the second half: Three field goals and a defensive tackle getting a pick six. Against Purdue. Or is it a one-game thing and not really worth worrying about? Something I didn’t discuss a lot on Sunday was the running game. Was Lincoln Riley upset with Eli Sanders, who averaged 7.5 … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Let’s Talk About The Vaunted Offense
After an 0-3 start, UCLA has fired DeShaun Foster. What an admission of the dire state of the program. According to UCLA, “a comprehensive national search for a new head coach will begin immediately. Martin Jarmond and Executive Senior Associate AD Erin Adkins will be aided in the search by a to-be-named-later committee composed of accomplished sports and business executives and UCLA greats.” If UCLA … Continue reading UCLA Fires DeShaun Foster
Did anyone finally wake up regarding USC’s pass defense Saturday? I’ve cautioned about the pass defense being a team weakness for months but it was even worse than I imagined it would be Saturday against Purdue.

But today was supposed to be demonstration of strength. Well, Purdue was headed toward a TD but it’s another INT for the QB. Bishop Fitzgerald earned his scholarship and NIL today … Continue reading USC-Purdue Live Blog
Is DeShaun Foster going to make it until the end of the season? Is UCLA going to win a game? Hard to predict anything when UCLA has a university administration that doesn’t really want to concern itself with football. It’s a big topic as we get ready for the first game of the season for USC. Or at least the first game I really care … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Before Purdue, What’s Up At UCLA?
Former USC wide receiver Michael Jackson (2021-23) is now playing at Purdue. He has a team-high seven receptions for 79 yards for the Boilermakers. Great: No more gates at campus entrances, which allows free flowing access from campus to the Coliseum and vice versa. It’s much easier to back-and-forth at the Exposition Blvd. entrance despite the large crowds. Thank you interim president Beong-Soo Kim. Not-so … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
