QUARTERBACK Is there anything Caleb Williams can’t do? He makes touchdown throws going against his body, eludes sacks and constantly pulls something out of nothing. I don’t even care he threw an interception. I’d love to see him play Alabama, Georgia or Ohio State. Grade: A- RUNNING BACKS They weren’t exactly breathtaking but they always get bonus points because Travis Dye is ready to check … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC-Arizona State Report Card

Look at it this way: UCLA recently put … Continue reading USC Towel Wavers Out Of Hand

Williams bounced back from the Oregon State game with an incredible assortment of passes/runs under pressure. And his offensive line needs to thank him profusely because they were an embarrassment. A normal QB would have been sacked eight times in the … Continue reading My Take On USC’s Less-Than-Impressive Victory
