Former SC Trojan and Villa Park native Aaron Corp has finally won the starting job at Richmond under 1st year head coach Latrell Scott. Corp, who is no stranger to QB battles, ousted sophomore John Laub in a tremendous QB competition. Corp, a red-shirt junior, transferred to Richmond after two seasons under Pete Carroll. It was anticipated that Corp would be the starter come 2009, but then-freshman Matt Barkley beat out Corp (who suffered a leg injury during preseason)....
USC’s adoration for making headlines continues tonight as Lane Kiffin managed to piss someone off beyond the college football world. Earlier today, Kiffin snagged Tennessee Titans running backs coach Kennedy Pola to coach his offense without even having the respect to contact Titans coach Jeff Fisher as a courtesy. Only after Kiffin and Pola made arrangements did he finally decide to contact Fisher. Pola, a former Trojan, will assume ousted Todd McNair’s duties and looks forward to his return...
Tennessee might want to think about scrapping their football program and come back in a few years, you know, sort of like Enron. Since college football’s resident diva Lane Kiffin left Tennessee for the younger, sexier, USC, Tennessee and Derek Dooley have been in a tailspin that seems to dive deeper with every passing week. Fresh off Tennessee’s annual Orange and White game Saturday, safety Darren Myles, Jr. celebrated a little too much and was picked up by Knoxville’s...
NCAA football’s governing body just approved rule changes earlier today that will take effect starting in 2011 to include no eye black messages, no wedge blocking, and no major taunting. We first reported the proposed rule change back in February, but now it’s official. Players wearing eye black will be forbidden to write any messages on their glare blocking accessories. While eye black has always been a part of football, the trend of writing messages on them really took off...
Lane Kiffin hasn’t even been USC’s head coach for 3 months, yet he’s back to running his mouth again. College football’s resident court jester has given the press plenty of fodder since his arrival at Tennessee last year and it looks like the LA media outlets will have their fair share of sound bytes from him. In a recent interview with Sporting News columnist Matt Hayes, Kiffin claimed that he would have won an SEC championship he had stayed with...
Lost in USC’s signing day madness was David Sills’ verbal commit to the Trojans. Unlike the rest of USC’s current recruiting class, Sills will be arriving on campus in 2015. In the last 48 hours, the QB from Delaware has become the most popular teenager in the country outside of the Jonas Brothers. Sills and his family headed to Manhattan Friday morning for a guest appearance on Good Morning America. Call me crazy but isn’t 13 a little too...
USC QB Matt Barkley underwent wrist surgery earlier this week to repair damage suffered on his right wrist. The Trojans are hoping that Barkley makes a full recovery in time for the start of spring ball. USC welcomes new head coach Lane Kiffin and the coaching staff are hoping that Barkley can make it back by spring practice as Kiffin will be implementing a new offense for Barkley to run. As of now, Barkley and Mitch Mustain are the...
Since being booted out of Tinseltown in 2004, Ed Orgeron has done everything in his power to come back to the west coast. With Lane Kiffin surprisingly dropping Tennessee for the Trojans, the door opened for Orgeron to pack his bags and follow Kiffin. Unfortunately, it looks like Orgeron wanted to take more than his personal belongings to Southern California. Prior to departing Knoxville, Orgeron contacted Tennessee’s mid-term enrollees and offered them a piece of advice–do not attend class this semester if you...
