My USC-UCLA Analysis: An Inexplicable Game Plan
USC defeated UCLA, 19-13, which is ultimately what mattered about Saturday night’s game. But the way USC got to that victory was incredible. Some of the stuff Lincoln Riley did to his players was coaching malpractice. Poor Jayden Maiava, who was presumably brought into the lineup because of his versatility (legs), threw fade after fade after fade into the end zone during portions of the … Continue reading My USC-UCLA Analysis: An Inexplicable Game Plan
Discuss The USC-UCLA Game
USC leads, 19-13. It will come down to last drive of the game, like every other week this season. It took a mad scramble by Maiava but USC has taken the lead, 16-13. This is one of the worst playcalling performances ever by Riley. Amazing that UCLA scores a TD after kicking off from its 5-yard line to start second half. Riley’s playcalling has been … Continue reading Discuss The USC-UCLA Game
Pick The USC-UCLA Score
This is a terrible game to pick. USC has not improved all season and has a coach that could care less about the Crosstown Rivalry. UCLA is one of those teams that will burn you just when you show a little faith in them. Like most games this season, USC has the edge on paper. But the Trojans don’t look better on the field. UCLA … Continue reading Pick The USC-UCLA Score
USC Saturday Buzz: A Couple Things To Set Straight
I was sick of JuJu Lewis long before he decommitted from USC last weekend because I didn’t like the way he strung out his recruitment. It had nothing to do with his ability. But I didn’t like the way this week some USC homers suddenly decided Husan Longstreet was always the better prospect. Oh really? Well, if that was true why didn’t Lincoln Riley start … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: A Couple Things To Set Straight
A Busy Crosstown Rivalry Eve
The Daily Trojan defeated the Daily Bruin, 5-1, today in the Blood Bowl. Touchdowns counted for one point and the Daily Bruin threw at least four interceptions to start the game. The second half may have made history as it was played entirely by all-female teams for each squad. Pictures of the game are below. Continue reading A Busy Crosstown Rivalry Eve
If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
So last week I wrote about how actor Mickey Rooney headlined the USC-UCLA pre-game football rally in 1952. Rooney put on a “$15,000 a week nightclub act” with other entertainers for USC students. The exact same show opened in Reno, Nev., on Christmas Day in 1952. Fast forward to 2024. Last night, USC held the rally for the UCLA game on campus. Some local TV … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
