There are 19 current USC players who played for Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin while he was USC coach in 2013: OT Zach Banner, DT Kenny Bigelow Jr., QB Max Browne, CB Kevin Carrasco, TB Justin Davis, C-OT Nico Falah, S Chris Hawkins, ILB Michael Hutchings, S Matt Lopes, S Leon McQuay III, WR Steven Mitchell Jr., ILB Quinton Powell, DT Khaliel Rodgers, WR Darreus Rogers, DE Jabari Ruffin, OG Jordan Simmons, SNP Zach Smith, TB James Toland IV and OT Chad Wheeler
Basically they went from babysitter to a cheerleader to a frat brother to an adult. I think they like where they are at now.
A lot of those players were part of that great but drama filled recruiting class that lost Jalen Ramsey and Vanderdoes. There were ONLY 13 kids in that class and those players NEED TO MAKE THEIR MARK THIS YEAR.
You bet they do – they know this is their last shot of being part of ‘something’ to remember.
Exactly, besides Su’a Cravens who left early, they’ve all been average at best. Hopefully these new coaches can get the best out of them this last year.
1st qtr – Cal 7 HI 0
Why did they onside kick? That was a gamble.
Well because they already down 0 – 7 i.e. ‘…hey let’s do this and see what happens…’
The game could have been a much more competitive CAL/BYU game but CAL refused to play BYU for this game. Chickens. Actually I would love to see the Rainbow Warriors beat CAL. It’s now 14-14. CAL would never live this down if they lost, especially since the Bears refused to play a more reputable opponent.
I’m watching the Dodgers game and going back to the Cal game in between commercials. But ESPN didn’t exactly send their top commentators to Australia. No offense to Bellotti, but the other guy sounds like a fill in. I guess the Sydney game is big, but not big enough for any other top ESPN guys.
With Gott gone the Dirty Hippies have nothing.
Jim Gott? Just kidding. I know, the Bears may be in for a long season.
So what’s the point?
Do any of these guys care. I don’t think this about USC vs. Lane Kiffin. Nobody significant is around– Haden or Orgeron or the players that didn’t want to play for Kif. This is about USC vs. Alabama. That’s a big deal.
