Let’s revisit the potential depth chart because I’m not sold on some of these supposed starting lineups. And — big surprise — I’m talking offensive line. I think USC’s best left tackle is Bobby Haskins. And even though Jonah Monheim has been the No. 1 right tackle since the spring, remember he got benched halfway through last season. That leads me to believe USC could … Continue reading Not Sold On Supposed USC Starting Lineup

When USC released a statement on Bru McCoy, it made me think what would have happened if Trojans fans were as vocal as Tennessee fans? What if USC fans had supported Matt Boermeester like this? Or Kenan Christon? Or De’Anthony Melton? I’m not saying it would have changed anything. But at least USC would have felt a little pressure to be more accountable instead of … Continue reading What If USC Fans Were As Vocal As Tennessee Fans?

Some coaches, like Chip Kelly, like to practice in the morning. Others like Pete Carroll at USC practiced in the afternoon. Lincoln Riley does both. Here is what he plans for the season: Tuesdays: 8:10 a.m. Wednesdays: 4 p.m. Thursdays: 8:50 a.m. What is unusual about this is the challenge it probably posed for the academic counselors.

Tennessee fans have been complaining about USC’s alleged lack of action regarding the eligibility of wide receiver Bru McCoy with a social media campaign aimed at Mike Bohn and Lincoln Riley. Any USC fan could attest that the university moves at its own speed when it comes to doing business, especially involving an athlete who faced any type of disciplinary action. Well, the Vols fans’ … Continue reading Did Tennessee Fans Get USC To Act On Bru McCoy?

Lincoln Riley said the left-tackle position is still not settled with Bobby Haskins and Courtland Ford battling to start. I know this: Haskins will play so at worst there will be some rotation but Haskins will play. The rest of the line is fairly set: Andrew Vorhees (left guard), Brett Neilon (center), Justin Dedich (right guard) and Jonah Monheim (right tackle) Riley mentioned Ceyair Wright … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Training Camp Officially Over
