USC QB Caleb Williams predicted he will play in the Cotton Bowl despite his hamstrung injury that limited him in the Pac-12 Championship game. “Hamstring is doing well,” Williams said. “I am confident that I will be out there.” Even though this season is not over, Williams is already thinking about next year. “Next year, I’m gonna work harder,” Williams said. “I’m gonna do more, … Continue reading Caleb Williams Says He Will Be Ready For Cotton Bowl

It’s got to be a luxury for USC that players like Barrs can enter the portal from Southern California who were not offered by the Trojans in high school and … Continue reading USC Lands Arizona Transfer

The UC Board of Regents meets today at 2:30 p.m. at UCLA to discuss the Bruins’ move to the Big Ten. The conventional wisdom is the Regents will force UCLA to give a portion of its Big Ten profits to the University of California to offset the loss of revenue for the Bears caused by USC and UCLA’s defection to the Big Ten.
