Williams Cut
Former USC wide receiver Mike Williams was cut today by the Tennessee Titans.
“I just wasn’t seeing the production, and when you get in a situation where you don’t see the production, and you’ve got a young group of receivers that are emerging, I just felt like it was in our best interests to let him go at this point,” coach Jeff Fisher said. “Maybe Mike can hook on some place else.”

But the Ducks also just installed a new video board that is 88 feet wide by 33 feet high, the largest in the Pac-10. It cost more than $2 million. Did we mention USC got a new video board too?
