USC Morning Buzz: Not Quite The Hottest Ticket In Town Yet

So you’re telling me the USC-Ohio State game is not a sell out? That means Ohio State fans have not yet gone all out on buying tickets for the game. They will.

North Carolina Beats USC, 4-0, To Set Up Huge Sunday Game

OK, one question: Who is going to pitch tomorrow for USC? Andrew Johnson would have been a candidate but he pitched 3.2 innings Friday. Does he come back for limited innings? It looks like it will be all-hands-on-deck. Diego Velasquez (5-1) and Chase Herrell (6-4) are certainly candidates. Is Mason Edwards available for spot duty? USC just can not handle North Carolina pitcher Jason Decaro. … Continue reading North Carolina Beats USC, 4-0, To Set Up Huge Sunday Game
