What a fitting end to a disappointing week. USC to its third Holiday Bowl since 2014, which is played in one of the worst stadiums in the country. And it gets really cold in there at night. The opponent should be Iowa or Michigan. Imagine if USC loses to a Big Ten team. What will Mike Bohn have to say about the program then? “We … Continue reading USC To Holiday Bowl?
