Purdue is hiring Graham Harrell as offensive coordinator after a year at West Virginia, which ranked ninth out of 10 teams in total offense in the Big 12. Failing upward! Maybe JT Daniels can go to Purdue. The National Labor Relations Board’s Los Angeles region has found “merit” in an unfair labor practice charge seeking employee recognition for USC football and basketball players. NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo said … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

USC QB Caleb Williams predicted he will play in the Cotton Bowl despite his hamstrung injury that limited him in the Pac-12 Championship game. “Hamstring is doing well,” Williams said. “I am confident that I will be out there.” Even though this season is not over, Williams is already thinking about next year. “Next year, I’m gonna work harder,” Williams said. “I’m gonna do more, … Continue reading Caleb Williams Says He Will Be Ready For Cotton Bowl

He played through an injury last season so he should be better.” Continue reading Kyon Barrs Evaluation
