This will be a worry for next season. Here are the Big Ten games scheduled to be shown only on Peacock this season. USC held its convocation today for more than 9,000 new undergraduate and graduate students. They got this advice from former student Kaitlyn Yang: “If you see another person wearing a USC hat or sweatshirt at LAX, don’t be shy and give them … Continue reading USC Notes: Are You Going To Need Peacock Next Season?
USC practices are closed, which means actor Chace Crawford was allowed to go last weekend. You have had priests from the Caruso Catholic Center turned down for admittance to practices. But they are not the brother-in-law of Tony Romo, like Crawford. Michael Tarquin has gone from starting at left tackle to now trying to fight off Mason Murphy for the right tackle job. He’ll probably … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Transferring Has Risks Too
If you need an illustration of how much bigger college football is than college basketball, here’s Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark. “I’m a firm believer that basketball is undervalued,” he told the Ourand-Marchand podcast. “Basketball is about 25 percent of the total audience.

The new Bo Nix billboard in NYC is complete as … Continue reading USC Notes: Oregon Revives A Publicity Campaign

He showed in glimpses of the spring game that he was the best tailback and, frankly, was a reason Raleek Brown got moved to slotback, although that will never be said publicly. Lloyd is more of a breakaway threat than Austin Jones, who actually thrived … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Running Back Rotation Settling
Someone told me they thought Arizona would be USC’s toughest game in the first six contests. My response: USC might score 60 points against Arizona’s defense (Johnny Nansen). I suspect going to Arizona State will be tougher than playing Arizona in the Coliseum. There are always surprises during the season but on paper, Arizona has a problematic secondary. The Wildcats took a cornerback transfer from … Continue reading What Is USC’s Toughest Of The Worst Games?
