Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster said Tuesday he feels 90 percent healthy for the Rose Bowl, which was the best he felt since the Fresno State game in 2014, his first college football contest. That helps explain why players in Smith-Schuster’s position go pro. If they have to deal with constant pains, then they might as well get paid.
This season, Smith-Schuster dealt with back pain for several weeks. It didn’t sideline him but it caused him to take some painkillers before at least one game.
Meanwhile, USC’s basketball team opens Pac-12 play tonight at Oregon State. Here’s my preview of the Trojans going into conference games.
Juju and the word ‘healthy’ don’t seem to mix very well together because he’s been playing injured most of his college career so far. But it’s great news he’s ‘almost’ healthy for probably the biggest game in his life to date. Good luck to him at the Rose Bowl. We definitely need him to play well in it.
The Alabama game was the biggest game of his life.
Make that his biggest loss.
Fully healed or fully healthy? Please splain.
Since he can’t seem to stay healthy at the college level, I wonder what the NFL scouts think of him as a #1 draft pick ?
I wonder whether he’ll go in round 2 or 3? Probably 2 because I suspect he’ll have a big Rose Bowl game. He got hammered by the post-season teams and I think he has a little revenge on his mind.
He’s no #1 pick, more like 4th round. Average speed, not that big, he’s nothing special.
Gronk was injured most of his UA college career.
JuJu wants to be Mr. Physical Guy, and that will keep him on the IR in the nfl .
With the basketball game not starting till 8 pm, don’t complain about the crowd size Wolf, some people are working this week.
You can’t get to USC by 8pm on a week night ?
Do you guys both know the basketball teams for the LA schools are IN Oregon?
Yes. We are terrible in Eugene. They’ve owned us in Mathew Knight Arena AKA THE NIKE DOLLAR. A win over the Ducks would be huge.
UPS allows you to troll blogs ?
Hey snitch!
Never flagged you, don’t care what you say, never have never will.
Sad sad sad little man
Sas good to see ya back
Thanks Steve. That dork up there says he had nothing to do with it but he’s admitted to me at least once already a few weeks ago that he flaggs comments. He’s a real piece of something.
LOL, do you believe everything you read ?
Don’t be so hard on yourself, maybe one day UPS will let you drive the truck not fill it.
I stopped pre-load in 07. Keep trying.
So you unload the planes now ?
I deliver to classy people. People who’s families actually want to be around them. I meet USC old timers every day who would disown you.
How nice
A retired n a t z i.
How classy!
You’re playing with fire
Ooooooooooh I’m scared!!!!!!
Here’s some fire. I’d imagine you’re the suing type, but if you’d like to meet up for pre-game conversation (wink-wink) i can give you my info and we can settle this like real men. No attorneys and no law suits. Just bare knuckles.
#JUST LET ME KNOW
Sounds like you just threatened me
Now you want to play innocent????????????????
Cry me a river.
I never threatened you, that’s not very nice.
Well since you want to play like a little pink vag. I will block you.
I deleted my reply because you might go and blow the whistle on me. P….O….S…
My bad, just looking for SW’s next negative spin.
Pyrite Toejam lacks much wisdom.
From San Diego? Not that I would want to and get home at 1 am?
The I-5 isn’t that bad at 1am
Both Oregon State and Oregon games are on the road. The USC-#21 Oregon game will be TV’d on FOX Sports 1 beginning at 7:00 pm on Friday. First, Beat the Beavers !!!
So Wolf won’t be using that attendance negative, he’ll have to find something else. Hope we get a win.
“If they have to deal with constant pains, then they might as well get paid” – by receiving a free education they ARE getting paid.
Every college football player deals with pain, so by the Blogger’s logic everybody should skip college and go straight to the NFL from high school.
Helen, agree with you 100%. I would like to see the “system” return to the late 60’s when freshmen attended class and all athletes had to finish their three years of eligibility before leaving the school.
Never going to happen
You’ll never be a stand up guy.
I’m a stand up guy, you have no idea who I am, none. What I do here is for fun. Don’t you have a package to deliver ?
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They don’t allow you to deliver packages do they. Maybe a few ESL classes will help you out
Please tell me who you are???? When’s the next n a t z i gathering in the swamp basement?
You do know the guy who monitors this blog is Jewish
I can tell you right off the bat who you are…..
You’re wife left you and if you have kids they don’t want any part of you.
Wrong on both counts, which for you is normal.
LOL. You know its true. There’s no way a women could stand you!
You have no clue, as usual
Drain the IE Swamp, Donald Trump’s winning the Presidency of our great Country was never supposed to happen if you had listened to the Demos, Repub Estab, etc. I hope that the crap, the derogatory arrangements i.e. week day football games, rediculous starting times, would all be ROLLED BACK to a time when college football Reason and Good Sense were the rule, not the exception. Drain the Swamp !!!
We can all hope this will happen, but the almighty $$$$ speaks louder than quality games, concern for the welfare of the athletes, fans, etc.
DRAIN THE SWAMP !!!!!!!
I found the article about California leaving the union to be more interesting. I wish California all the luck in the world with this, I hope they leave, and please take Oregon and Washington with you.
LOL, what does it tell you that the part about JuJu got more attention on this blog than the basketball part ?
Summary: Football players play hurt and they would rather get paid. SHOCKING!!
Sorry – Off topic, yes, but still…
#whereischaz?
I question Juju’s physical maturity. I know that he is physically grown but he is still young; didn’t he start as a 17 year-old frosh?
Gotta love how so many people on this blog fell for the president-elect’s BS when so many of us saw right through it. He won’t be changing anything for the better, but thanks for letting him dupe you guys, as he will be flushing this country down the drain.

“Drain the swamp,” then he appoints all of the usual suspects.
LMAO!
I am sure you would have felt better with a good strong socialist leader rewriting the constitution and letting everyone live off the govt dole.
It looks like you’re referring to our white brothers and sisters since they comprise the largest number and percentage of food stamps and welfare recipients.
Things have gotten desperate for many since GW Bush wrecked our economy then handed the keys to Obama.
You’re just mad because you might actually have to go to work for the first time in your miserable liberal life, you pathetic loser
And look who upped your post, the IE illegal himself.
You’re just mad because your fearless leader lied in your face to get your vote and you weren’t critically minded or sophisticated enough to know that he was using you. Now that he’s admitting day-by-day that he’s not going to do most of the big things he ran his winning campaign on, you’re feeling a bit dull again.
It’s OK, bud. We can come together to make him do right by this country.
