Lane Kiffin has hired Tee Martin as an offensive analyst at LSU. The pair are reunited after being together at USC from 2012-13. USC defeated San Diego State, 7-4, last night at Dedeaux Field. The Trojans are now 20-1. Jazzy Davidson was named to the Associated Press All-America honorable mention team. Have you seen this interview with Max Nikias as he promotes his book? It’s … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC Coaches Reunited At LSU
USC should get a commitment today from five-star athlete Honor Fa’alave-Johnson from San Diego Cathedral Catholic High School. USC plays a doubleheader with Northwestern today.

But no one will … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Big Commitment Day
