Legendary USC Coach Dave Levy Passes Away
Dave Levy, who was one of the most influential figures in USC football, died Wednesday. He was 91.

Is Lincoln Riley due for some relief this week because UCLA has a much less challenging offense than Washington or Oregon? Then again, Cal scored 49 points.

Morning Buzz: USC-Oregon Report Card
QUARTERBACK I cannot imagine a normal QB facing the pressure like Caleb Williams did on Saturday. He was improvising all over the field and played quite well. Who else could have done that? It’s too bad Lincoln Riley didn’t get him better protection or a defense. Grade: A- RUNNING BACKS There wasn’t much room for the backs but I still don’t understand why a game … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC-Oregon Report Card
An Easy Choice For Lincoln Riley
Zach Arnett was fired by Mississippi State and would be an extremely easy choice for Lincoln Riley to hire as defensive coordinator.
