A Defining Moment For USC?
Lincoln Riley thought when USC made a 4th down stop against Cal with the score 43-43, it was a defining moment. At least that’s what he said on the “Trojans Live” radio show. “It wouldn’t surprise me at all if we looked back years down the road and said that was the defining moment for this team in its entirety. That was everything. That was … Continue reading A Defining Moment For USC?
Notes: A Model For USC
Iowa interim athletic director Beth Goetz announced offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz will not return next season and will remain through the Hawkeyes’ bowl game. This could actually be a model for USC because I’ve previously said there really isn’t a candidate to replace Alex Grinch on the current USC staff. He could remain through a bowl game.

He had six tackles, an interception, a … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: Player Misevaluation
USC Reaction: What Did We Just Watch?
Well, not even Cal could be an easy victory. It’s amazing how USC can underachieve this season on a weekly basis. Cal was down to its fourth-and-fifth string tailback and still lost by only a point. The USC defense is beyond hope and the offense is plagued by inconsistency as the offensive line can’t provide pass protection and Caleb Williams seems increasingly affected by it. … Continue reading USC Reaction: What Did We Just Watch?
USC-Cal Live Blog
USC squeaks by Cal, 50-49. The flaws of the program were on full display. This never should have been a 1-point game. USC had all the momentum and then the defense let Cal score a TD. The Pac-12 refs are giving USC an extra play from the end of the first half to start the second half. Incredible officiating. Cal has rushed for 177 yards. … Continue reading USC-Cal Live Blog
