Michael Pitts+FollowLongstreet’s Trust Issues: USC vs LSU DramaTrojans fans, what do you make of Husan Longstreet’s exit? The former five-star QB never saw the field in the Alamo Bowl, despite weeks of prep, and now he’s eyeing a homecoming with the LSU Tigers.

Michael Morgan+FollowColumbia’s Millennium Buffet closes after decadesMillennium Buffet on Blossom Street, a go-to spot for Chinese food near USC’s baseball stadium, has closed its doors for good.

Chad Williams+FollowUSC Eyes SEC's Batoon for Defensive RebootTrojan fans, big news: Lincoln Riley is reportedly targeting Missouri’s Corey Batoon to fill the DC spot left by D’Anton Lynn. Batoon’s resume is stacked—he just led Mizzou to a top-10 defense and has a rep for turning around struggling units fast.

John Camacho+FollowLongstreet brothers’ next moves shake up USCKevin Longstreet is heading to New Mexico, but the real buzz is about what his brother Husan will do next. After Kevin’s transfer, many thought Husan would follow, but it looks like both are making their own choices. Kevin’s move makes sense—he’ll likely get more playing time with the Lobos after bouncing around bigger programs. For Husan, though, New Mexico might not be the best fit, and he could land at a more high-profile school. This whole situation really puts the spotlight on USC—did they do enough to keep Husan? What do you think about the brothers’ separate paths? #Sports #Football #USC00Share
