Time for more questions with the Minnesota game approaching. One per person please.
Ticket Rise
The price of the cheapest ticket for a USC football game has risen 33 percent since 2008 according to a survey of Pac-12 schools by the Oregonian.
On The Hot Seat
USC coach Lane Kiffin made the Hot Seat list for the venerable publication, the Gold Sheet.
Money quote: “Although Kiffin fared well in recent recruiting, a subpar Trojan performance in 2011, considered very possible by regional sources, could get the ball rolling quickly against Kiffin, whom many are convinced is not the proper fit to lead the Trojans through their turbulent probationary period.”

“John’s doing well,” Kiffin said.
Aundrey Walker is also working at right guard but the position looks much clearer than left guard, where three different players (Marcus Martin, Martin Coleman, Jeremy Galten) worked with the first-team offense the past three practices.
