Saturday Night Five: USC collapses, Helton cuts key staffers, Eason bolts UW, the muddled North and context on WSU

Instant reaction to Pac-12 developments on, and off, the field …

Good news, USC fans: After the Holiday Bowl, coach Clay Helton said he plans to “go back and evaluate” the football program.

But he won’t just evaluate. Nope. Helton will “evaluate everything.”

And thankfully, the university has given him “the resources, the tools, the support that is needed to take this from good to great.”

So it’s settled.

Next stop: National championship.

Excuse our sarcasm, but it’s the only appropriate reaction to the USC football operation after another sub-standard season …

And the controversial decision to retain Helton ….
