Some Bad Holiday Bowl Takes
All it took was a USC bowl victory to come up with some horrendous takes. Here are some of the worst: Lincoln Riley changed the culture of the program in the past month. The game proved Caleb Williams is a system quarterback. Miller Moss beat a ranked team and Caleb Williams didn’t this season. Did Williams play any ranked teams as bad as Louisville? It … Continue reading Some Bad Holiday Bowl Takes
In Memoriam: C.R. Roberts
With 2023 coming to a close, let’s start remembering some of the Trojans who passed away this year. C.R. Roberts, a USC fullback, is best remembered for the 1956 game vs. Texas when USC was told its African-American players could not stay at its Austin hotel.

Discuss The USC-Louisville Game
Well, at least USC showed up and played hard. The Holiday Bowl answered one question: Miller Moss earned an opportunity to be the starting QB next season.

USC cannot go through … Continue reading Discuss The USC-Louisville Game

Where is the running game? Miller Moss bounces back from his … Continue reading USC-Louisville Live Blog
My Holiday Bowl Pick

I’m sure the Excuse Brigade already has their alibis ready for Lincoln Riley if he loses. It feels like motivation will be a big factor today. I think USC’s young players are excited because many of them will play significant amounts for the … Continue reading My Holiday Bowl Pick
Morning Buzz: Pick the USC-Louisville Score
What a game to pick the score. USC without Caleb Williams, Brenden Rice, MarShawn Lloyd, Lake McRee, Calen Bullock and a host of others. Louisville without its top rusher and receiver. The Trojans are 7-point underdogs, for what that is worth. Lincoln Riley is 1-4 in bowl games. We know what that is worth. It could be worse. Nearly 40 players combined from Georgia and … Continue reading Morning Buzz: Pick the USC-Louisville Score
