Does anyone care Clay Helton is returning to the Coliseum this weekend? When USC scheduled Georgia Southern, it seemed like an interesting angle. Especially because USC was supposed to face Lane Kiffin the week before. But the USC-Mississippi game got canceled and Georgia Southern got routed by Fresno State, 42-14, last weekend.
