Lincoln Riley’s first year as USC’s head coach, when the Trojans averaged 41.8 points per game and generational quarterback Caleb Williams won the Heisman Trophy, he had two running backs carry the ball 135 or more times. While the Trojans might not pop offensively quite like they did in 2022, they should feature another 1-2 punch in the backfield that’s led by a dynamic transfer, perhaps providing a two-way spark this season that’s similar to the one Oregon-turned-USC star Travis Dye ignited two years ago. That’s Woody Marks, a Mississippi State transfer Riley named as the starting running ba...

USC is hoping the defense looks completely different in 2024, wanting to take a massive step forward heading into the Big Ten. Defensive back Zion Branch has a chance to be a part of the change but first, has an injury to deal with. Head coach Lincoln Riley gave an update on Branch Tuesday, saying the issue is around the finger/hand. Surgery was required but Riley was not worried at all, calling the injury “extremely minor.” Branch was been an impressive player during fall camp and is looking to impress with the Trojans. “Zion had to have a small procedure done on one of his fingers or on his ...

USC named Miller Moss the team’s starting quarterback on Monday, ending a competition that ran for the better part of eight months. Moss beat out redshirt sophomore Jayden Maiava for the job, earning coach Lincoln Riley‘s trust. Riley explained the decision to make the call on Tuesday afternoon. “We felt like we got to a point where we’d seen enough of the guys and just felt like that that was the right decision for the team,” Riley said. “It was close. It was close. Give Miller a lot of credit, I think he improved and handled the competition well.” While Miller Moss was always the favorite to...

Former NFL and USC Trojans head coach Pete Carroll is out of coaching now and getting into teaching with a class at USC this Spring. Carroll shared the news that he would be teaching a class at USC on Sports Radio 93.3 KJR-FM. However, he did not offer any specifics on the class, like what the topic is going to be about. This comes after Carroll parted ways with the Seattle Seahawks, a franchise he brought a Super Bowl to, making 2024 the first season he hasn’t been a head coach either at the NFL or college level since 2000. It also gives him time to do things like teach at USC, where he was a...

Joel Klatt anticipates success for USC in the 2024 campaign. During an appearance on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd,” the FOX Sports analyst explained his optimism for the Trojans’ upcoming season. “I’m bullish on USC this year,” Klatt said. “Everyone can roll their eyes on their defense being better. Their defense is going to be better. All you have to do is line up properly. I’m not joking. Like, I know that that sounds bad but the schematics were so bad last year.” USC’s defense was its weak point last season. The team allowed 432.8 yards per game, ranking No. 116 out of 130 FBS teams. In tur...

FOX Sports analyst Joel Klatt broke down what a successful season is for 10 of the most interesting teams in the country. His assessment of USC boiled down to a simple answer. “I think that USC needs to make the playoff for me to think that they had a good, quality year,” Klatt said Monday on his show. Klatt believes the Trojans can accomplish that feat in 2024, their first season in the Big Ten. “People have a short memory with Lincoln Riley, and I know it’s partly because of the exit from Oklahoma, but let’s not forget that this guy is an offensive genius,” Klatt said. “Now, has the defense ...

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Tuesday that rookie quarterback Caleb Williams will not play in Thursday’s preseason finale against the Kansas City Chiefs. The next time Williams suits up, it’ll be for his official NFL debut in the Week 1 home tilt against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 8. Williams, the No. 1 overall pick out of USC, was impressive in Chicago’s first two preseason games. He completed 10-of-20 passes for 170 yards and one rushing score, making a few highlight-worthy plays. Perhaps the play that best showcased Williams’ ability was the 45-yard dot he dropped in a buck...

According to Matt Zenitz of 247Sports, Alabama and general manager Courtney Morgan have agreed on a new three-year contract just ahead of the 2024 season. Morgan has been a key addition to Kalen DeBoer’s staff since being hired and is now getting a pay increase, reportedly set to make $825,000 a year. The extension for Morgan comes after Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans came after him to be the program’s President of Football. Instead, Morgan will stay in Tuscaloosa and continue to work for the Crimson Tide. “Alabama and its star GM Courtney Morgan have agreed to a new three-year deal that wi...

Lincoln Riley has made his decision. Miller Moss will be USC’s starting quarterback, beating out Jayden Maiava for the role. The team announced the decision on Monday night. Moss spent two years as Caleb Williams’ primary backup quarterback after taking a redshirt in 2021. He didn’t play much as Williams went on to win a Heisman Trophy and become the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, but he got a starting opportunity in the Holiday Bowl last year – and he made the most of the opportunity. Moss put together a huge performance in that game against Louisville. He completed 23 of 33 passes for 372 yard...
