So here is what is happening in crappy SC news: USC has released Seantrel Henderson from his letter of intent. This is a classy move by Kiffin. He could have just said F-U to Henderson and he would have had to sit out a year if he transferred. Henderson has not officially signed with another […]

Got bogged down on Friday, so this mailbag fermented over the weekend. To the notes. Jason from the Bay Area writes: So having seen most of the Pac-10 this spring, what are your impressions?

Christmas is coming early for USC’s new offensive line coach James Cregg, who is surely exhaling a big sigh of relief after today’s news that number one O-Line recruit in the nation, Seantrel Henderson, will officially sign a letter of intent with the Trojans later this week.

(Photo by Icon Sports Media) The summer is over and fall is officially upon us. That means football is in full swing. Teams have had a few weeks to figure out their identities. Now it’s time to find out which teams are for real and which teams are fakers. The Trojans face another road test […]

(Photo by Icon Sports Media) Before the season starts no one really knows anything about anything. There are no sure things in sports. Too many variables can change a season in an instant.

Here are my thoughts on last night’s game: Positive – Running Game I liked what I saw from the running game. I was hesitant after the Fall Scrimmage to anoint Stafon the lead back, but after last night’s game I believe he should get equal time with CW. He showed great patience, ability to break […]
