Malachi in Attendance
USC hosted numerous visitors at the Coliseum on Saturday, including a big-name commit. Five-star class of 2023 quarterback Malachi Nelson was at the game checking out his future teammates.
A year ago at this time, Nelson was committed to play for Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma. However, he flipped his commitment to USC shortly after Riley’s departure, and has remained committed to the Trojans ever since.

ASU Fires Herm
While USC is enjoying a great start to the season, the same cannot be said of one of the Trojans’ Pac 12 South (is that even still a thing?) rivals.
Following a stunning loss to Eastern Michigan on Saturday night, Arizona State fired embattled head coach Herm Edwards.
In addition to mediocre/poor results on the field, Edwards’s tenure in Tempe was marred by a scandal in which the Sun Devils illegally hosted recruits on campus during the COVID 19 Pandemic. This past offseason was a disastrous one for Arizona State, as a significant portion of Edwards’s coaching staff was fired due to the scandal. In addition, numerous ASU players elected to transfer out of the program, including starting quarterback Jayden Daniels.
