Hi. It’s good to be back. Let’s get this thing going.
We start this year’s Gekko Files tour with a look at the most combustible situation in all of the PAC 12. With high profile alumni already clamoring for Urban Meyer to restore USC glory (and, c’mon, what could possibly go wrong in that scenario?), the fate of Clay Helton seems to come down to this one season.
And why the heck shouldn’t it? The recently extended Helton, a pet project of AD Lynn Swann, led USC to a wholly unimpressive 5-7 record and its first non-bowl eligible season since Paul Hackett put up the same record with the 2000 squad.
