George Farmer came in with alot of expectations due to being a teammate of Robert Woods. Marquis Lee has been great this fall practice while George Farmer has not played that well as fans hoped. Why do you think George Farmer is struggling? Do you think he can play great this season? Should he redshirt? Thank you.

A: Farmer's found the transition difficult like most freshmen. However, usually receivers can transition easier than other positions. But it can be difficult if you don't know the plays or where to line up. That is something that hurt Vidal Hazelton when he came into training camp. I still think Farmer can make an impact this season. This is not easy to predict otherwise the USC coaches would have done a better job recruiting Marqise Lee. While other schools recruited him aggressively, USC basically did not contact him for a few months while deciding if they really wanted him. In the end they did and he always wanted to come to USC anyways, so it worked out.

When Yahoo spent all that time investigating SC 5 years ago it appeared that they had it out for USC, but now with their bombshell expose of Miami do you think it shows their objective all the time was to uncover the corruption of amateur collegiate athletics wherever it occurs?

A: Whenever a school is under the microscope for NCAA violations, fans believe the media exposing the problems has it out for their school. That's been going on for 40 years. Perhaps the next big story should be an investigation into the NCAA and its use of former athletic directors as chairmen of the committee on infractions.
