To no one’s surprise, USC safety Talanoa Hufanga declared for the NFL Draft today. He has been named a first-team All-American by the Associated Press and Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year. I’m hearing USC’s other safety, Isaiah Pola-Mao, is expected to also declare for the draft. Continue reading Talanoa Hufanga Declares For NFL Draft
The Pac-12 laid an egg again in a bowl game but can you imagine how USC would have fared in the Alamo Bowl? Mike Bohn and Clay Helton must have never felt better about skipping the game than after Texas blew out Colorado, 55-23.

The Alamo Bowl is tonight? It really snuck up fast and just shows there really wasn’t much more season involved if USC played in the game. But the power brokers (Mike Bohn/Clay Helton) saw it as a no-win scenario especially with Kedon Slovis, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Alijah Vera-Tucker out. Plus the game actually means something to Texas, where Tom Herman is hungry for any … Continue reading Remember The Alamo (Bowl)
