Tight end Keyan Burnett of Servite, who was previously committed to USC, committed to Arizona on Sunday. Not a surprise at all but these quotes pretty much confirm why he is not going to USC. “They see me as a traditional tight end,” Burnett told 247Sports. “They want to feature the tight end in their offense and like how well I fit in.” USC does … Continue reading Keyan Burnett Commits To Arizona
Dayne Shor, a four-star offensive tackle from Alpharetta, Ga., committed to Alabama this weekend. USC offered a scholarship to Shor. Now I don’t expect any lineman with a chance to go to Alabama to choose USC, especially one from Georgia. But the list of highly regarded linemen who don’t even give USC serious consideration while the Trojans intensity their efforts on three-star prospects is something … Continue reading Looks Like Another Offensive Lineman Ignored USC
I wrote this morning about John McKay benching five starters after losing his USC debut to Oregon State, 14-0, in 1960 as the Trojans fumbled five times. Well, McKay didn’t get his first win until Game 4 when the Trojans defeated Georgia, 10-3, at the Coliseum. Georgia featured QB Fran Tarkenton but the Friday night game drew only 28,120.

But did he admit on twitter that Todd McNair settled for $8 million. The greatest story in college football history has just turned into the greatest cover up by the @ncaa that settlement for $8Million is proof of the … Continue reading Did Todd McNair Settle Case For $8 Million?
Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff got the “Coach Kliavkoff” treatment Wednesday at USC as he kicked off his listening tour of the conference. I always feel like Clay Helton rewrites history. Below, he is talking about how JuJu Smith-Shuster built his brand at USC. I remember a junior year where Smith-Shuster didn’t get as many opportunities as expected and some doubted his pro prospects, mainly because … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Time To Rewrite History
