I don’t put a lot of stock in things that get said today or during USC training camp. The exception is Gary Patterson, because he knows what he is doing. Patterson said one of his roles — besides running the defense — is to be a resource for Lincoln Riley. “There’s not a lot of guys in this profession of the age that you can … Continue reading USC Notes: Gary Patterson Offers Unofficial Role For This Season
