USC Morning Buzz: Signing Day Is Here!
It still feels weird having Signing Day in December. Defensive lineman Korey Foreman signs today, supposedly, and the school he signs with will be sworn to secrecy until his January announcement. Quarterback Jaxson Dart is supposed to make his announcement around 9:15 a.m. PT on ESPN. USC, UCLA, BYU and Arizona State are his final choices.

USC Finally Replaces Art Bartner
I tweeted this afternoon an announcement was coming and USC just sent out that associate director Jake Vogel is the new director of the Trojan Marching Band. He replaces Art Bartner, who was the director since 1970. I’ve written previously that Vogel was the frontrunner but it took forever to name a replacement.

This is true but one of many disingenuous stats USC puts out that demean past teams. None of those teams had cushy Pac-12 only schedules. Would this team be on the verge of 6-0 if it … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Some Things That Bother Me This Week
Kirk Herbstreit Tries To Explain Why Ohio State Is Better Than USC
ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit talked today about why Ohio State — and not USC — is a serious contender for the College Football Playoff despite playing only five games. “Ohio State, unlike USC, before the season started, was in the same pool with Clemson and Alabama and probably Georgia before the season started. Not saying that’s fair and unfair,” Herbstreit said on his podcast. “I’m … Continue reading Kirk Herbstreit Tries To Explain Why Ohio State Is Better Than USC
