But they forgot to add former USC QB Ricky Town also transferred to Pitt, so it really is a trend. Town played in just one game at Pitt, completing one pass. He famously left USC during training camp after getting a look at Sam Darnold. Is there any reason … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
