Everyone mentioned the USC-to-Pitt quarterback pipeline when Kedon Slovis repeated the same transfer as Max Browne. But they forgot to add former USC QB Ricky Town also transferred to Pitt, so it really is a trend. Town played in just one game at Pitt, completing one pass. He famously left USC during training camp after getting a look at Sam Darnold. Is there any reason … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
Has anyone heard anything about Graham Harrell or Todd Orlando since the end of the season? Not a word on their departures from USC. Harrell has really gone underground, especially when you consider he was making more than $1.2 million and got a three-year contract in December, 2019.

USC is aggressively looking for new ways to bring in revenue through the Coliseum, especially after the dreadful attendance this past season. So the Coliseum field has been ripped out and NASCAR is building a temporary short track at a cost of more than $1 million. It only cost $954,872.98 to build the Coliseum in 1921. The NASCAR Cup Series cars will race around the quarter-mile … Continue reading NASCAR At Coliseum!
I’m hearing USC coaches are scouring the transfer portal for offensive line prospects, including FCS schools. One of the questions going into spring practice will be how Lincoln Riley handles offensive tackles Courtland Ford and Jonah Monheim? Ford didn’t play the last two games because he was hurt and Monheim lost his starting job midway through the season. Even if Andrew Vorhees (who went from … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Offensive Line Prospects Wanted
