ESPN has released its first “Football Power Index” rankings of 2020 and USC is No. 13, the highest-rated Pac-12 team. Oregon is right behind the Trojans at No. 14. The FPI ratings are “a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team’s performance going forward for the rest of the season.” Does anyone these predictions?

When he was reminded that they worked together for several … Continue reading Clay Helton’s Fuzzy Memory

With Mo Hasan walking-on as a grad transfer, I guess it’s a good time to talk about the over/under on how long a QB lasts at USC with no injuries. Kedon Slovis got knocked out of two games (Utah, Iowa) and left two other games (Arizona State, UCLA).
