QUARTERBACK Miller Moss had a poor first half with an interception and fumble but rebounded with a strong second half and even showed moxie on the touchdown run. He’s going to need better protection against Minnesota. Grade: B- RUNNING BACKS After an encouraging performance against a physical Michigan defense, the running game was below average against Wisconsin.

A reader weighed in on USC sell outs. “When it looks like a game is close to a sell out, the school moves the tickets to SeatGeek. “SeatGeek can then raise the price and people won’t give USC grief for raising the price of tickets.

As I said previously, if someone hasn’t emerged yet, it doesn’t speak well for what’s happened in training camp or … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Quarterback Overshadows Another Competition
I’m hearing the first week of practices confirmed that linebacker Easton Mascarenas-Arnold and safety Akili Arnold are going to be vital pieces of the defense. “They manage to flash in practices every day, which they should because they were top Pac-12 players last year,” a USC coach said. It’s true that the defense is always ahead of the offense the first week of training camp … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz: Big Assist From Oregon State
