Cal WR Coach Kiesau reportedly heading to UW
6Bear Territory and ESPN writers are indicating via Twitter that Sarkisian's raid on Cal's assistants has netted WR Coach Eric Kiesau. Since Cal's emphasis this year was on recruiting for offense, this could actually be worse than the Tosh Lupoi departure.

Barkley to have afternoon news conference about next season
16Per the USC AD twitter feed, there will be a press conference this afternoon for Matt Barkley to announce his decision about returning for one more season or going pro. Cowherd briefly claimed it was a lock that Barkley is gone, but then retracted. Speculation is rife as you can imagine. Pretty much everyone who has an opinion is saying they have no inside information, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

6No. 25 USC goes up 19-3 over Minnesota but has to hold on late. The Gophers rally behind their backup quarterback and fall just short, 19-17. Storyline: USC could disappoint in 2011 The Verdict: For a while, this was incredibly accurate. USC needed turnovers to hold off Utah at home the next week, got whipped by Arizona State, and only held off Arizona by a touchdown at home. But in the last three weeks, they have taken things up a notch, whipping California on the road, whipping Notre Dame on the road, then exchanging haymakers with Stanford for four quarters and three overtimes before falling. USC should end up at 9-3 or so thanks to their improved play.
I know this an SBN site, but I think it's indicative of people's slight change in opinion about this USC team, at the national level.
