A dreary third quarter ends with USC up, 35-6. What’s next? The temperature gauge stays stuck at 75 degrees? The lights went out at the Coliseum. Some things never change. It’s halftime and USC leads, 35-7. And you know what, the Trojans are still vulnerable on defense and the offensive line. Luckily, the schedule is a joke. Washington State manages a TD to remind everyone … Continue reading USC-Washington State Live Blog

I will have a live game blog this afternoon. But first, who will win? Washington State has not played fot three weeks. I can’t keep track of how many players have been out with COVID-19. Everything about this year is unpredictable but I don’t think they can push USC for four quarters, even if USC plays down to competition.

Yes, there is a game. Tomorrow. I will post my score later but right now is your turn. Can Nick Rolovich possibly make this a game? Will a two-week break be too long for the Cougars? Will USC revert to habit and play down to its opponent? Can Kedon Slovis throw a spiral for four quarters? Continue reading Morning Buzz: Pick The USC-Washington State Score
