Interesting response here from the mother of USC players Munir and Abdul-Malik McClain. Her original tweet is below this tweet. Right On! Ray Charles & Stevie Wonder Can See It! ♥️💛✌️✌️ — Shan McClain (@Shan_Mc4) November 13, 2020 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Tomorrow is game day for USC. #2 Is Still Suspended from football. Munir McClain is creating a narrative as to where the next generation of Young … Continue reading USC Tweet Of The Night

I suppose we should be grateful this game is even being played. But I can’t get excited about it. USC can play exactly like it did last week and win comfortably vs. Arizona. I think Arizona QB Grant Gunnell has potential and might give USC some problems but the fact the Wildcats have not played a game is a big negative. I think USC will … Continue reading Pick The USC-Arizona Score

What a day for the Pac-12. Utah-UCLA is canceled. Cal-Arizona State is canceled. And the conference apologized to Stanford (and apparently QB Davis Mills) because a player had a false positive. Remember all those breathless media reports about the testing procedure of Quidel Corp.? Maybe their CEO should apologize to Stanford.

I suspect USC will cure some of its ills when it plays Arizona, who hasn’t beaten the Trojans since 2012. I’ve criticized defensive coordinator Todd Orlando through the week, but you know who flew under the radar? Cornerbacks coach Donte Williams. There could have been some pass interference calls in the game and an NFL coach told me the corners “were misaligned a lot.” But … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

I hear USC received a few complaints this week after some fans objected to a decal on the back of the helmets featuring a logo for Black Lives Matter. The decals were difficult to spot on TV so I’m not sure if the fans were eagle-eyed or heard about the decals elsewhere. You can see the small decal on the back of the helmet in … Continue reading An Eagle-Eyed Complaint From Some USC Fans

Can you imagine last January telling USC that Alabama, Notre Dame, Oregon and Washington would be removed from its schedule? A lot of fans think the Pac-12 gives USC short shrift, and in some cases in does, but man did it rig the schedule this season or what? USC didn’t even have to play well last weekend to beat the best team on its schedule. … Continue reading The Daily: Is This Season Foolproof For Clay Helton?
