USC has completed 59 passes in two games and exactly one went to a tight end as Erik Krommenhoek has a 5-yard reception. If USC is 2-0, maybe it doesn’t matter. But a tight end is a weapon in any offense. Apologists will say a pass was thrown at Josh Falo vs. Stanford. Hurray! And I don’t care where Falo lines up, he is a … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Do Tight Ends Matter?
Here is what Clay Helton said about wide receiver Devon Williams entering the NCAA Transfer Portal. Oh wait, Helton does not speak to the media on Wednesdays. I wrote before the season it would be interesting who speaks for the program when news happens on a Wednesday. Not Helton.

There were no indications anything out of the ordinary was going on, per sources. Swann arrived at USC on Monday morning and met with the women’s golf … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Lynn Swann Didn’t Know What Was Coming
I hear USC is seriously considering Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith. He is the one of the best-known athletic directors in the country. Did I mention USC president Carol Folt is from Akron, Ohio. But would Smith want it? He certainly would be ideal if USC wants Urban Meyer, which remains to be seen. There are a big three, I believe, out there: Smith, … Continue reading USC Dream A.D. Candidates
