I’ve been going closely through the USC roster this week and one thing stands out: I don’t think the depth is as great as has been portrayed, especially when this is Year 4 for Lincoln Riley. There are quite a few positions with unproven players and things really look dicey at some spots if injuries occur (which always happen). For example, at linebacker USC will … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: I See Soft Spots On Roster
USC freshman guard Kayleigh Heckel has finally made a decision and she is transferring to UConn. Talk about a change of atmosphere. She leaves player-friendly Lindsay Gottlieb for the demanding Geno Auriemma. But maybe that’s why she made the move. Heckel was an up-and-comer for USC last season and figured to play a vital role at USC, especially with JuJu Watkins injured. But now she … Continue reading USC Guard Kayleigh Heckel Transferring To UConn
Does a segment of USC fans realize that they trust the judgment of someone from Muleshoe, Texas, regarding the future of the USC-Notre Dame rivalry? After investigating the state of the series Monday in a column for Sports Illustrated, Pat Forde came to this conclusion Tuesday about USC: “The school is chiseling away at its athletic identity, little by little.” This is what happens when … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC “Chiseling” Away At Identity

Forde reports Notre Dame wants a long-term extension but USC wants to only extend the deal one year. He says USC is reluctant because of “the uncertainty of the future College Football Playoff format” and the travel involved with the Big Ten … Continue reading The USC-Notre Dame Series Pressure Is Building
Lane Kiffin said in a recent podcast that when he was at USC, only 30 percent of the students knew who he was. Is that bad? I don’t know if he is accurate but back when he was at USC, he wasn’t exactly a people person. He is more engaging now and seems to care more about being a popular personality. He was younger at … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: A Lane Kiffin-Lincoln Riley Comparison
Two weeks ago I was critical of USC track and field for taking a conservative approach and getting swept by UCLA at the dual meet. Remember, the USC men and women were ranked Nos. 1 and 2 in the nation. USC got a bit of redemption Sunday (sort of). The women defeated Oregon, 121-113, to win the Big Ten Conference track championship. The men, on … Continue reading Sunday Buzz: Mixed Results For USC At Big Ten Track
