The Big Ten Schedules Lost Some Luster
Looking at the Big Ten schedules for 2024-28, I feel like it’s not quite as attractive as I imagined. USC only plays Michigan or Ohio State but not both in any single season. In 2025, USC doesn’t even play Ohio State or Penn State. In fact, the Trojans play Penn State every other year. The first game at Iowa is not until 2027. The first … Continue reading The Big Ten Schedules Lost Some Luster
Big Ten Releases Amended Schedule
The Big Ten has released its 2024 amended schedule after the addition of Oregon and Washington. Here’s USC games: Home: Nebraska, Penn State, Rutgers, Wisconsin. Away: Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Washington, UCLA. REACTION: The big one, of course, is the trip to Michigan. The other Midwest road trips are not bad. This seems pretty favorable. The home schedule is attractive compared to Pac-12 standards so selling … Continue reading Big Ten Releases Amended Schedule

USC center Justin Dedich had an interesting comment Wednesday about the offensive line during the Colorado game. “We kind of got physically beat this game,” Dedich said. “It was the first time we’ve been against that scheme defense this year, so I think it was a good learning experience for us.” Physically beat by Colorado? An irritated USC graduate and former athletic dept. employee told … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Colorado Hangover

But what has anyone on that staff done to merit a head-coaching job? It’s an amazing profession. Continue reading USC Notes: Coaching Is Amazing Profession
USC Morning Buzz: Another Chance To Remember A Key Stat
Now is as good a week as any to point out again: Who else besides Sir Lincoln of Riley has won three Heismans and never won a national championship? Or maybe even just multiple Heismans and no national title? Or maybe three Heismans and never appeared in a national-title game? Maybe to win a national title you need defense. And an ability to run the … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Another Chance To Remember A Key Stat
What Is Going On With Korey Foreman?
Korey Foreman did not make the Colorado trip. Lincoln Riley said today USC is exploring the possibility of Foreman redshirting. Really? When someone says redshirting these days, it often means transferring. Does Foreman want to transfer? Does he want to keep playing football? Does it matter? Foreman has one tackle in three games this season. Speaking of redshirting/transferring, Raleek Brown showed up at practice today. Continue reading What Is Going On With Korey Foreman?
