Miller Moss prepares for his next chapter with transfer to Louisville

Miller Moss is heading to Louisville, the team he torched at USC in the 2023 Holiday Bowl. Moss gets Jeff Brohm as his coach and play-caller. Good move.

Miller Moss, as loyal a USC Trojan as you will find, realized he would not be the starting quarterback for USC football in 2025. He also realized he would not be picked in the NFL draft had he entered. There was no real choice for Moss. He entered the transfer portal and needed a place to play in 2025. He has made his choice: He will go to Louisville.

Moss had some really good moments for USC in 2024. The LSU, Wisconsin, and Penn State games were superb. Moss showed that when he gets a clean pocket, he can make the right throws and fit the ball into narrow windows. The problem for Moss was that when pressured, he sometimes panicked and was vulnerable to the immediate telegraphed throw, particularly on out routes. That led to crucial interceptions at multiple points in his season.

Moss got worse, not better, with ball security, throwing three interceptions at Washington. That led to his benching in favor of Jayden Maiava, who impressed in the latter games of the season, especially versus Notre Dame.

Miller Moss, a deeply thoughtful person who has valued his USC education and could become a coach or television analyst after his playing days are over (it wouldn’t surprise us, let’s put it that way), waited multiple years behind Caleb Williams to get his chance to start for USC in 2024. So many other players would have bailed on the Trojans (or any other program) in an equivalent situation. Moss loved being a Trojan. Now he has to make the most of a final chance to build a football-playing career. We’re all pulling for him as he heads to Louisville, where Jeff Brohm — in the same tier with Lincoln Riley as an offensive play designer — can do great things with Moss, provided that the UL offensive line performs well.

Brohm obviously was impressed by Moss — how could he not be? — when Moss threw six touchdown passes versus Louisville in the 2023 Holiday Bowl. If Moss lights it up for Louisville in 2025, that Holiday Bowl will continue to be the gift which keeps on giving for Miller Moss.

Best of luck, Miller! Go get ’em in Louisville!

Insane story could create huge transfer portal opportunity for Lincoln Riley, USC

One of the wildest stories in the history of the coaching carousel could help #USC in a big way. We’ll explain this amazing turn of events.

And you thought the 2021 coaching carousel was crazy. Wait until you hear about the most remarkable coaching carousel story of all time, more remarkable than Lincoln Riley going to USC and Brian Kelly leaving Notre Dame for LSU on back-to-back days. This one tops them both. What’s more: It could help Riley and USC in a very big way.

Imagine that a coach who had already flirted with another program a few years ago doggedly tries to remain on the job at School A. He gets onto the hot seat but coaches his way out of it.

Then he bails.

More than that, he not only bails; he goes to the school which is playing School A in a bowl game in just 12 days. He coaches School A on Nov. 26. He then leaves for School B on Dec. 5, just before coaching in a bowl game between School A and School B on Dec. 17.

That could never, ever happen … or at least, not until December of 2022. It really has happened. Again, USC could benefit.

We’ll lay out this true story below, and what it might mean for the Trojans and Lincoln Riley:
