I suppose some USC fans are upset Lincoln Riley did not win Pac-12 coach of the year. Ultimately, it’s more important to win 11 games than an award. But a question I have is whether people thought Riley outcoached anyone in USC’s toughest games? I can’t say Riley outcoached Kyle Whittingham in either Utah game. Actually, I’d say Whittingham definitely did the better coaching job … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Upset Over Coach Of The Year?

The Pac-12 announced its individual awards and USC was well represented. Caleb Williams was offensive player of the year while Tuli Tuipulotu was defensive player of the year.

Grade: C- RUNNING BACK Was USC unable to run or did Lincoln … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC-Utah Report Card

There was a report today that Chris Petersen was a frontrunner but he is not interested. He could do way better than UNLV. Ed Orgeron is also not interested. Continue reading What About Donte Williams And UNLV?

Ralen Goforth, who was the No. 3 linebacker this season, has entered the transfer portal. Goforth had 43 tackles and started three games this season. He will likely be most remembered for the hit that knocked the helmet off Cam Rising in the Pac-12 title game. USC has three recruits coming so far at linebacker but it will be hitting the transfer portal hard for … Continue reading Ralen Goforth Enters Transfer Portal
