Morning Buzz: A Wake-Up Call For Pac-12 And USC
The Pac-12 laid an egg again in a bowl game but can you imagine how USC would have fared in the Alamo Bowl? Mike Bohn and Clay Helton must have never felt better about skipping the game than after Texas blew out Colorado, 55-23. How would USC stop Texas defensive tackle Alfred Collins or tailback Bijan Robinson? The Trojans didn’t face players like that in … Continue reading Morning Buzz: A Wake-Up Call For Pac-12 And USC
Drake London To Concentrate On Football
USC basketball coach Andy Enfield said Drake London would concentrate on football and not join the basketball team this season. I think he means ever.

Remember The Alamo (Bowl)
The Alamo Bowl is tonight? It really snuck up fast and just shows there really wasn’t much more season involved if USC played in the game.

Plus the game actually means something to Texas, where Tom Herman is hungry for any … Continue reading Remember The Alamo (Bowl)
Morning Buzz: Little Room For Tailback U. In USC Offense
Let’s look at how the USC offense changed during Markese Stepp’s three years. In 2018, USC passed 51 percent of its plays and ran 49 percent. In 2019, USC passed 57 percent and ran 43 percent. In 2020, USC passed 59 percent and ran 41 percent. The change obviously took place with the hiring of Graham Harrell and installation of the Air Raid offense.
