Ralen Goforth, who was the No. 3 linebacker this season, has entered the transfer portal. Goforth had 43 tackles and started three games this season. He will likely be most remembered for the hit that knocked the helmet off Cam Rising in the Pac-12 title game. USC has three recruits coming so far at linebacker but it will be hitting the transfer portal hard for … Continue reading Ralen Goforth Enters Transfer Portal

The transfer portal is going to be out of control. Kedon Slovis is leaving Pitt. Julien Sirmon and Xavion Alford are leaving USC. Arizona WR Julian Singer, who caught 3 TDs vs. USC, is leaving. Oregon linebacker Justin Flowe is leaving. He was the five-star USC bent over backwards to recruit out of Upland.

But Williams flexed his power in the Pac-12 title game by refusing to come out of the game when he was less than 50 percent. So we’ll see. There isn’t much point playing … Continue reading Will Caleb Williams Play In Cotton Bowl?

The College Football Playoff is set: 1. Georgia; 2. Michigan; 3. TCU and 4. Ohio State. I’m sure the committee did not deliberately keep Michigan and Ohio State from playing in the semifinal. Right! I consider this a real lost opportunity for USC. I expect the Trojans to be better next season but you need to take your chances when you have them because you … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: College Football Playoff Hangover
