Do people forget USC’s offense struggled in the second quarter of its victory over Fresno State? Clay Helton and Graham Harrell constantly bring up Kedon Slovis and Matt Fink throwing three interceptions in their first road starts. But they will never mention Daniels threw a costly interception … Continue reading If Only JT Daniels Were Healthy
Remember during training camp there were so many breathless reports about how freshman tailback Kenon Christon was? He hasn’t played and it looks like he will redshirt.

The night before the game, an event was held to hype the game and it featured baseball legends Babe Ruth (in a Notre Dame jersey) and Lou Gehrig (in a USC jersey).
