If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
Last week, I said the track and field prelims at the 2028 Olympics would be brutal for fans forced to roast in the heat at the Coliseum. Well, Friday’s New Student Convocation at the Coliseum was termed a disaster by several people in attendance. They said a few people fainted and that about a third of the students departed well before the conclusion of the … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

It doesn’t want any … Continue reading Just Call It Paranoid U.
USC Morning Buzz: Quarterback Overshadows Another Competition
Forget about quarterback, right guard remains a more interesting situation. Lincoln Riley couldn’t even name a starter on Tuesday. In fact, he couldn’t even narrow the competiton down from three players. Alani Noa, Amos Talalele and Gino Quinones are all getting reps at the position. As I said previously, if someone hasn’t emerged yet, it doesn’t speak well for what’s happened in training camp or … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Quarterback Overshadows Another Competition
