A lot of people seem unhappy with the decision to opt out of a bowl game. I’ve heard from a lot of fans/boosters today about it, which is slightly unusual by USC standards. One complaint I hear is “They wrote a letter to the Governor demanding to play but won’t go to a bowl?” Or “Would they have opted out if they beat Oregon?” I’m … Continue reading USC Bowl Opt Out Riles Fans

I spoke to a USC player on Saturday morning (before the bowl opt out) who said that in the locker room after the loss to Oregon, Clay Helton said, “We started a (new) culture here” and “We are on road for national championship.” Do I even want to comment?

But after losing to Oregon, would it surprise anyone … Continue reading Kedon Slovis Update

What’s really awful is after USC does all the wrong things you get to see on a weekly basis, Clay Helton says this: “We’re judged on championships here, that’s the beauty of this place … the fact of the matter is, we’re really close.” That’s the smokescreen Helton always creates. USC is always “close” to doing something but never does. History is going to be … Continue reading Clay Helton Blew An Easy Chance For Perfect Season

Before I forget, why did USC think it could handle Kayvon Thibodeaux without double-teaming him, like every other opponent that faced Oregon? I know the brain trust (Graham Harrell, Clay Helton) has to adhere to Air Raid philosophies at all times, like snapping out of shotgun formation on fourth-and-inches. But for the most part, poor Jalen McKenzie had to deal with Thibodeaux by himself and … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: What Was The Name Of That Bad Movie?
