Raleek Brown On Scout Team
Raleek Brown spent part of today’s practice on the scout team. Lincoln Riley addressed it after practice: “That was just our decision today as coaches. Raleek’s a really good player but there’s a lot of really good players here. The margins are really, really thin between a lot of guys. “If I start going down the names of guys I’ve had play reps on the … Continue reading Raleek Brown On Scout Team
USC Notes: A Friendly Analysis Of The Defense
I don’t really disagree with Fox analyst Joel Klatt’s analysis of the USC defense. But here’s the thing: If you read this blog, you know I always zeroed in on the secondary first and Klatt doesn’t even mention them below.

They aren’t physical yet … Continue reading Morning Buzz: Another Perspective On USC

The Right People To Fix The USC Defense?
This was the best quote from Lincoln Riley on Saturday night and it concerned the defense: “A lot of work to do, and we’re the right people to get it done.” Who is we? Alex Grinch? Riley? Donte Williams? The other defensive coaches? I can’t say any of them are the “right people to get it done.” Riley, a Mike Leach disciple, is the right … Continue reading The Right People To Fix The USC Defense?
