Yogi Roth has built an identity around USC and said during the Missouri State game the Trojan Knights “are keepers of the Victory.” He forgot to mention the “Bell” as in Victory Bell. That’s kind of important. “I have so much gratitude for having been a Trojan,” Helton said. One thing I like is Sermons wears No. 42, the number of Ronnie Lott. WINNER OF … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Who Was Winner Of The Week?

It’s amazing how fans view things. An Oregon fan describes the USC game thusly: “After trailing Missouri State early, usc pulls through.” Meanwhile, a USC fan says the Trojans have the deadliest offense in Big Ten based on . . . Missouri State. Continue reading College Football Is Back All Right
