Defensive tackle Floyd Boucard of Miami will announce his college commitment today at 1:30 p.m. USC, Alabama, Miami and Oklahoma are his finalists. The Sooners are considered the frontrunner but maybe Coach Henny can pull off a surprise. When you look at recent commitments of USC targets, it’s been defensive players where problems occur, so we’ll see if today continues that trend or bucks it. … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Target Makes Decision Today

It’s always nice to find a clear photo from the 1950’s. Here’s USC tailback Bob Levingston taking a carry against Baylor in the Trojans’ 17-8 victory over Baylor in 1959 at the Coliseum.
