What’s really awful is after USC does all the wrong things you get to see on a weekly basis, Clay Helton says this: “We’re judged on championships here, that’s the beauty of this place … the fact of the matter is, we’re really close.” That’s the smokescreen Helton always creates. USC is always “close” to doing something but never does. History is going to be … Continue reading Clay Helton Blew An Easy Chance For Perfect Season

Before I forget, why did USC think it could handle Kayvon Thibodeaux without double-teaming him, like every other opponent that faced Oregon? I know the brain trust (Graham Harrell, Clay Helton) has to adhere to Air Raid philosophies at all times, like snapping out of shotgun formation on fourth-and-inches. But for the most part, poor Jalen McKenzie had to deal with Thibodeaux by himself and … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: What Was The Name Of That Bad Movie?

Well, that was fitting. All the lack of discipline and non-sense the first five games came home to roost tonight against a team that had some athletes, which is why I picked Oregon. Kedon Slovis is worse this season. Graham Harrell did not improve the running game this season. Todd Orlando let his defense run wild all season and not in a good way. Sean … Continue reading Discuss The USC-Oregon Game

Complete lack of discipline on this team all season. USC has a big onsides kick and then squanders it. The entire USC offense consists of throwing to Drake London. Maybe Sean Snyder should be fired tonight? Oregon leads USC, … Continue reading USC-Oregon Live Blog

I already made my pick this morning. Now it’s your turn. USC is talking trash on twitter apparently. Didn’t Oregon lose its No. 1 cornerback (Thomas Graham), its Rose Bowl defensive MVP (safety Brady Breeze) and a projected first-round draft pick (safety Jevon Holland), who all opted out of the season. Do better, USC. 2019 Pac-12 Interceptions Leaders: 1.) Oregon8.) USC 2020 Pac-12 Interceptions Leaders: … Continue reading Pick The USC-Oregon Score

Is there really a Pac-12 championship game tonight? At the Coliseum? I’ve lost sense of time and this season feels weird with just six regular-season games. Who wins the game? I don’t think USC will play a team with as much talent as itself this season, including a bowl game. But I give Oregon a decent chance of winning this game and I am picking … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
