USC Notes: Crosstown Cup Fizzles

USC Morning Buzz: What’s My Line?
One of my concerns with USC’s roster is the offensive line. Some of the starters feel pretty average at best but if they get hurt, the backups look really shaky. I know USC is recruiting Texas A&M center Bryce Foster but I’m surprised the Trojans are not being much more aggressive in the transfer portal with linemen. There’s been more talk about the defensive line, … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: What’s My Line?
