USC-Notre Dame Kickoff Set
NBC will televise the USC-Notre Dame game at 4:30 p.m. PT on Oct. 23, the first game of the season with a kickoff time. Will the USC-Notre Dame game in South Bend ever be a day game again? For decades it was at 1:30 p.m. CT, a Notre Dame tradition. But then NBC stepped in 10 years ago and it’s never been the same since. … Continue reading USC-Notre Dame Kickoff Set
USC Morning Buzz: Doubts Have Not Been Erased In Spring
I mentioned this a couple weeks ago but I think it’s going to be listed as a concern going into the fall. A USC coach told me he’s been surprised in spring drills by the number of interceptions thrown by Kedon Slovis. The expectations were unusually high for Slovis a year ago.

USC Thought For A Day
From long-time USC booster/graduate/insider today: “If you don’t think Clay Helton runs a tight ship, ask the homeless man posing as a USC player who apparently infiltrated the training facility and dining hall for weeks, becoming exposed only when he donned a practice uniform and helmet to field punts. “But I’m sure this imposter would’ve gone undetected had he simply signaled for a fair catch … Continue reading USC Thought For A Day
USC Pushing Season Tickets
USC is having enough trouble selling football season tickets right now and then I get these personalized ads today. I suppose it would be interesting to find out how season-ticket sales are going with basketball after fans were not allowed last season. Did the Elite Eight spur a ticket boost or does Evan Mobley’s departure cause fans to be more skeptical about buying tickets? Continue reading USC Pushing Season Tickets
