If you were looking for a reason to say USC’s defense couldn’t possibly be as bad as last season, Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid’s 16 receptions in the first meeting between the teams was the most any player has ever caught against a Trojan team. No USC defense ever allowed a player to catch 16 passes in a game. Until 2022. That can’t happen again, … Continue reading A Record That Should Not Be Broken
When Clay Helton was USC coach, he had an offseason where three players had the same number and I duly made fun of it. Well, Lincoln Riley has THREE players wearing No. 42 for this actual season: Punter Aadyn Sleep-Dalton, linebacker Deuce Palmer and wide receiver Danny Ryan. Why? If you go to the Tim Tessalone School of Obfuscation, you would say USC is doing … Continue reading USC Notes: Would You Believe Three Players Wear Same Number?
With training camp set to start Friday morning at 6:30 a.m., there’s been some minor roster transactions. It’s a smart move from a business standpoint but Overn was proving last season that you can play two sports, which happens less and less. Sunday night, they gave a jersey to Brazilian singer Anitta on the Coliseum field. 😌 @Anitta, welcome to the squad 🔥 @Spotify pic.twitter.com/WoiOGXXTna … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Roster Moves As Camp Beckons

What it means is USC will probably go for another linebacker in the transfer portal next year. Maybe the interesting thing is Mater Dei and St. John Bosco players are not flocking to USC. … Continue reading Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa Commits To Notre Dame
USC will have two players wear the same jersey number for every available number between 0-20 this season. The only numbers not worn are the retired Heisman Trophy winners but I wouldn’t say they are unavailable because USC is willing to unretire them at any moment (see Jordan Addison, Darnell Bing). Freshman tight end Duce Robinson will wear 19. Rush end DJ Peevy will wear … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: Seeing Double
Here’s a third picture of the dog that invaded the USC-UCLA game in 1963. USC’s Bill Morris and UCLA’s Jack Hirsch look on in this photo. And there is a KNX radio banner courtside. Was this dog ever considered to become the next George Tirebiter? But he is rated a four-star prospect by Rivals and 247. Rivals has him the No. 3 tailback while 247 … Continue reading USC Notes: Picture Of The Day
