Caleb Williams put on a fantastic QB performance Saturday night. And it was offset by an utterly atrocious effort by the USC offensive line. Williams bounced back from the Oregon State game with an incredible assortment of passes/runs under pressure. And his offensive line needs to thank him profusely because they were an embarrassment. A normal QB would have been sacked eight times in the … Continue reading My Take On USC’s Less-Than-Impressive Victory

Well, the defense is soft as usual. And a busted coverage allows ASU to score a TD and tie the score, 7-7. The first drive is pretty workmanlike for USC other than a fumbled snap. Caleb Williams scores on a 1-yard run. USC 7, Arizona State 0. The Trojans are 25.5 favorites. Did you pick a winner? This isn’t the same Arizona State team before … Continue reading Discuss The USC-Arizona State Game

Are you ready?!?! But first, how many points will you pick USC to win by? Anyone brave enough to pick … Continue reading Saturday Buzz: Does Anyone Else Sponsor The Red Zone Besides USC?

Offensive tackle Caleb Lomu of Gilbert, Ariz., is visiting. He sounds like a must get because he is listed as the nation’s No. 9 offensive tackle by On3. But then I noticed Arizona, Utah and … Continue reading Big Recruiting Weekend For USC

What about you wondering about as USC faces heavy underdog Arizona State at the Coliseum? I’m wondering if Lincoln Riley will give Miller Moss some real playing time or if he wants to pad Caleb Williams’ stats? I’ve felt Riley wasn’t the type to pad stats but I’m not as sure now after he kept Williams away from the media following the Oregon State game … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
