OK, the USC offensive line is settled. I wrote my starting defensive line yesterday but this is an easier task because the transfers have taken over.

There are other players, like the underrated Tyrone Taleni and Romello Height, who started two games but got hurt, that will … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Who Starts On Defensive Line?

Former USC wide receiver John Jackson III has committed to Nevada. If he gets to play, it’s a good decision. Last year’s USC spring game aired on ESPN and drew 287,000 viewers. Colorado’s spring game on ESPN last Saturday drew 551,000 viewers. Michigan is scheduled to play 18 consecutive non-conference games in Ann Arbor between 2018 and 2025. The Wolverines will not play a non-conference … Continue reading USC Notes: John Jackson Commits To Nevada
