USC Morning Buzz: What Happened To Linebacker U.?

This is the time when Lincoln Riley is watching USC film over and over, at least when he isn’t offering recruits scholarships or monitoring the transfer portal. And I’ve heard whispers inside the McKay Center that linebackers are a constant subject as the coaches wonder how to improve the corps for next season. It’s quite a conundrum unless some more linebackers enter the portal. This … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: What Happened To Linebacker U.?

Keaontay Ingram Going Pro

It looks like USC tailback Keaontay Ingram is turning pro. He was a highlight of the offense last season and his physical play was a plus, but with tailbacks having such small windows in the NFL, it probably makes sense for him to leave.

USC Notes: Crosstown Rivlary Next Week?

I’m all for the USC-UCLA rivalry having three regular-season games. It used to be four back in the old days. Now the teams only play three times if they meet in the Pac-12 Tournament. … Continue reading USC Notes: Crosstown Rivlary Next Week?

USC Morning Buzz: A Graham Harrell Update

Finally, some news regarding former USC offensive coordinator Graham Harrell, who has kept a low profile since Lincoln Riley got hired. I hear that Harrell is a candidate to become offensive coordinator at Florida Atlantic, the former home of Lane Kiffin. Florida Atlantic hired Chip Lindsey as its offensive coordinator in mid-December but last week he became offensive coordinator at Central Florida. Florida Atlantic sounds … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: A Graham Harrell Update
