With 2023 coming to a close, let’s start remembering some of the Trojans who passed away this year. C.R. Roberts, a USC fullback, is best remembered for the 1956 game vs. Texas when USC was told its African-American players could not stay at its Austin hotel. USC coach Jess Hill refused to stay there and tried three different hotels before finding one that would accept the entire … Continue reading In Memoriam: C.R. Roberts
Well, at least USC showed up and played hard. The Holiday Bowl answered one question: Miller Moss earned an opportunity to be the starting QB next season. Like I said, give me a guy who understands the traditions and importance of rivalry games over a one-year rental.

I think USC’s young players are excited because many of them will play significant amounts for the … Continue reading My Holiday Bowl Pick

The Trojans are 7-point underdogs, for what that is worth. Lincoln Riley is 1-4 in bowl games. We know what that is worth. It could be worse. Nearly 40 players combined from Georgia and … Continue reading Morning Buzz: Pick the USC-Louisville Score
The Holiday Bowl is tomorrow night. Kind of just snuck up on us. With former Kansas State QB Will Howard looking at Ohio State, maybe Miller Moss is the quarterback of the future. One thing is certain: Moss has become the face of the program in December, by doing interviews and making clear he isn’t going anywhere. Players like that are hard to find this … Continue reading Miller Moss Becomes Face Of Program
