Morning Buzz: USC-Arizona Report Card
QUARTERBACK The stats looked good but the QB rotation was a mess. Kedon Slovis said he didn’t know he wasn’t playing in the fourth quarter. Jaxson Dart was cold on the sideline before he got thrown in for the fourth quarter. USC was terrified to pass in the second half especially after the pick six. Grade: C TAILBACK Why is it if Clay Helton were … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC-Arizona Report Card
USC Tweet Of The Day

Sunday Buzz: This Should Not Be USC Football

It’s hard to get excited about the good, like Keaontay Ingram rushing for 186 yards, when you consider the defensive breakdowns. Arizona had the worst pass offense in the Pac-12 (210 yards per game) and threw for 339 yards. And it’s not just one guy in the … Continue reading Sunday Buzz: This Should Not Be USC Football
