Is there anything worse than hype? Hype videos. Hype articles. Hype coaches. USC created myths with the new coaches, aided in some cases by friendly media. Todd Orlando was the yelling coach with the square jaw, aka the equivalent of Ed Orgeron, when he was the USC defensive line coach. But what did he deliver on the field yesterday? “A lot of times vs. the … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: Let’s Puncture A Couple Myths

Why is USC so obsessed with Hollywood? It now thinks it is located in Hollywood? Look at this dumb tweet: Remember those stirring speeches Marv Goux gave talking about how USC was going to defend the Coliseum in “Hollywood?” I will have more analysis later, but I spoke to an NFL coach today and the first thing he said is, “Clay Helton, he’s a lucky … Continue reading USC Is Located In Hollywood?

You can see that offensive positions have letters now instead of “tailback.” Also, Brandon Pili is not listed as a starter. USC FOOTBALL DEPTH CHART 11-6-20 QB Kedon Slovis Matt Fink B Vavae Malepeai OR Markese Stepp R … Continue reading USC Finally Releases Depth Chart With A Surprise
