Here are my thoughts on USC-Fresno State: Now there’s nothing wrong with throwing to the best receivers. But a good team might be able to blunt their impact and then does USC have anyone else?

Gary Kirner sat on a luggage rack that collapsed and the fall cut his finger to the bone. He tried to play in the game but … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
