USC Morning Buzz: All-American Madness

Wide receiver/return specialist Zacariah Branch has become the USC football program’s first true freshman to be a first-team All-American, according to the university. This means he will get a plaque outside the McKay Center alongside the other football All-Americans. Now the team he made is the Pro Football Focus All-American team. Is it legit? Maybe. Maybe not. But USC recognizes every All-American team. It currently … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: All-American Madness

Night Notes: USC Offers Oregon State Safety

Oregon State safety Akili Arnold entered the transfer portal today and was immediately offered by USC. Remember, Lincoln Riley does much better with finished products in the secondary. Arnold had 60 tackles and 2 interceptions in 11 games with the Beavers. Awesome few nights celebrating Reggie Bush for his outstanding career at USC. Reggie deserves every accolade (and trophy!) he’s ever received. pic.twitter.com/l0pmwGv0ws — Jennifer … Continue reading Night Notes: USC Offers Oregon State Safety

With Lincoln Riley. Maybe SportSource Analytics, who Coach Bohn and Brandon Sosna hired to recommend Riley, can provide some data to show how pathetic this is. Or some … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Some Lincoln Riley Facts

USC Notes: Will Oklahoma Fans Influence QB Decision?

Oregon is the favorite for QB Dillon Gabriel according to Pete Thamel of ESPN. Would Gabriel want to ruin his Oklahoma legacy by transferring to USC and playing for Lincoln Riley? That’s a lot of grief to bring on to yourself. You know who is the interim dean of the School of Architecture? Willow Bay. She is also the dean of the School of Communication … Continue reading USC Notes: Will Oklahoma Fans Influence QB Decision?

Morning Buzz: Another QB On USC Radar

I said yesterday there was no way new USC defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn would coach the Holiday Bowl and now we have a report confirming that. Lynn would be a fool to coach the Holiday Bowl. He needs months to change the culture. He needs to get rid of defensive coaches. His stock is at an all-time high right now with USC fans. Why tarnish … Continue reading Morning Buzz: Another QB On USC Radar
