USC’s defense is coming off of a dominant performance in the Gamecocks 34-13 victory over the Clemson Tigers on Saturday.  Clemson only managed 153 total yards of offense in the big game and Tiger Quarterback, Tajh Boyd, was sacked 5 times.  Earlier today USC Defensive Coordinator, Lorenzo Ward, sat down on SportsTalk ”First Edition” and discussed his defenses’ performance over the weekend.  Up for discussion were the infamous “Tajh Tweets”, and their motivation on his front 4; the play of Sammy Watkins; and some insight on which of his juniors are likely to return next season, as well as those who could possibly bolt for the NFL.

They have great facilities.” After leaving the camp, he drove through Columbia to take a look at the USC campus. He went on to say that he is interested in all schools showing interest in him. Mitch was in attendance for the Alabama-LSU game this season and left with a good impression. “It was an amazing atmosphere,” he said. “I can’t describe how great it was. I talked to coach (Chris) Rumph after the game and he told me he had enjoyed watching me play. I had a good time there.” He also attended games at East Carolina, UNC, NC State, Maryland, Florida and Florida State. As a junior, the quarterback threw for over 3900 yards, had 51 touchdowns through the air and another four on the ground. Mitch does not have any favorites.
