Someone within the football program who spoke to Arkansas quarterback Mitch Mustain said, “I think it’s a done deal” regarding his transferring to USC.

We hear incoming freshman defensive end Everson Griffen is already being discussed as a starter for next season. Maybe he should have been given a retired number when he signed with USC.

USC coach Pete Carroll said Thursday he was not interested in the San Diego Chargers job despite speculation he could be a candidate.
Earlier this week, Carroll refused to comment about the Chargers job. But Carroll said Thursday that was not a sign he could be lured to San Diego.
“I just got tired of answering questions about the NFL, because theres always a follow-up question from (the media), no matter what I say, so I decided I wouldnt say anything, Carroll said. “I wasnt looking at it. I like where Im at. Im not going anywhere.
Sources indicated there was communication between the Chargers and Carroll this week, but Carroll said he was never interested.
