USC Staff Housecleaning Moves Forward*
North Dakota State head coach Matt Entz has been hired to coach linebackers at USC. Now the key question is who Entz replaces?

If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
It’s a good thing D’Anton Lynn is talking about the importance of tackling. The people getting most excited about it, however, are the ones who made a big deal when Todd Orlando talked about its importance. How did it work out with him? But why are there only football All-American plaques adorning the exit tunnel of the building if it’s for all sports? All athletes … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
