Don’t Believe Spring Scrimmage Spin

So one of the excuses Lincoln Riley has given about canceling the spring game is it causes him to eliminate a regular practice for the game and another practice to prepare for the scrimmage. Here’s some things to consider: Riley usually has the team scrimmage during other parts of spring practice. How come those scrimmages are not a problem?

USC Notes: Who Is Pro Fans? Me!

UCLA is a 6.5-7.5-point favorite tonight against USC at Pauley Pavilion. The rematch is March 7 at the Galen Center.

Morning Buzz: USC Won’t Follow Indiana’s Lead In One Area

Lincoln Riley just sprung on everyone last night that USC spring practice would begin next week. And of course, there will be no spring game, just like last year. So even with all the freshmen enrolled already at USC, he still won’t put together a spring game for the fans. Should I mention that Indiana had a spring game last year and is scheduled to … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC Won’t Follow Indiana’s Lead In One Area
