If Lincoln Riley is serious, Alex Grinch and Donte Williams won’t be back next season. That’s the cold-hearted truth about USC football. If Riley wants to be as good as he claimed USC would be this season, he needs to make changes. When the coaches evaluated the roster in the offseason, how did they not bring in more cornerbacks? They had too much faith in … Continue reading USC Notes: Changes Need To Be Made

It’s just too much to ask for USC to play to its expectations. Saturday night was disgusting. Where to begin? I’ll start at the top because Lincoln Riley has become so lost in his arrogance, he thinks he has all the answers. The final series in regulation was pathetic by Riley. USC is at the Arizona 6-yard line. All Riley has to do is kick … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: That Was A Disaster

Except . . . so have several other USC games recently and look how they turned out? Is this the game USC finally plays four quarters? Is it possible with … Continue reading Pick The USC-Arizona Score

Cornerback Domani Jackson is not expected to play tonight vs. Arizona, according to On3. Jackson appeared to hurt himself while making a tackle after giving up a 27-yard completion against Colorado but there was no indication from Lincoln Riley this week that he might not play. If Jackson is out, the options at corner are Ceyair Wright and Jacobe Covington. I would say it could … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: Secondary Depleted

Is USC still going to have a home-and-home with Mississippi in 2025 and 2026 following its move to the Big Ten? The series is still on right now but I wonder if Lincoln Riley wants to play the series. Look at the 2026 schedule: Home games: Fresno State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Washington, Maryland. Road games: Mississippi, Penn State, UCLA, Wisconsin, Indiana, Rutgers. Do … Continue reading Will USC Actually Play Mississippi?
