USC athletic director Lynn Swann spoke at the CAA World Congress of Sports yesterday in Los Angeles. He was asked what advice he had if Sam Darnold was the first pick in the NFL Draft: “You better work on those legs. Cleveland’s offensive line isn’t that good.

The depth, if you listen to the coaches, is the best its … Continue reading Will USC Ever Have Another Spring Game?
I defy anyone to say Saturday’s practice at Cromwell Field really proved anything. Matt Fink and Jack Sears completed passes, which was good. But how that translates to a game five months from now is anyone’s guess. And does anything that happened in spring practice matter if JT Daniels starts?
