USC Morning Buzz: Here’s A Turkey For The Schedule

I love how some people are suggesting USC could now play North Dakota State with the Bisons moving into the Mountain West Conference. That’s the state of the program, to find any opponent and pass it off as a good deal. Is it better than playing Notre Dame? For Lincoln Riley it is, obviously. But what about the ticket-buying fans? What about those who valued … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Here’s A Turkey For The Schedule

USC Super Bowl Sunday Buzz: A Telling Story On Sam Darnold

Sam Darnold is going to wear No. 14 with the Seattle Seahawks, the number he has worn since USC. But unlike many players, Darnold did not demand to wear No. 14.

USC Saturday Buzz: Would Lincoln Riley Want A Legend?

There’s been some speculation that USC should hire Ed Orgeron as defensive line coach. This happens whenever USC has an opening for a d-line coach. I don’t see it happening because Orgeron and Lincoln Riley are like oil and water. Orgeron wants to play physical football. Does Riley? Orgeron would want demanding, physical practices? Would Riley? Also: I’m not sure Riley ever got over the … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Would Lincoln Riley Want A Legend?
