Lincoln Riley isn’t quite ready to give up play-calling duties at USC yet, but he didn’t rule it out in the future. Coaches turn over play-calling duties to offensive coordinators all the time. Usually when a big name does it, it’s, well, it’s a big deal. Riley won’t do it quite yet and he’ll operate his offense as is. But the USC coach definitely gained some perspective this offseason. “I don’t necessarily want to have to do it, but I’ll always do whatever I think is best for the program to help us win,” Riley said on Sirius XM. “You know, I’ve given full time quarterback duties … which was a...

Miller Moss didn’t even think about transferring out of USC due to his situation with head coach Lincoln Riley. The Trojans’ quarterback is in the “coveted” position of learning from Riley and staff and developing as a passer. Following in the footsteps of Caleb Williams, those are big shoes to fill. But Moss wouldn’t have it any other way. “I think when you look at obviously having the opportunity to play for Coach Riley as a quarterback is something that’s highly coveted,” Moss said on Sirius XM. “And being in the room with him, I completely understand why he’s the best, one of the best, if ...

Lincoln Riley has already been reaping the benefits of hiring Matt Entz as assistant coach to the USC staff this offseason. Entz joined the Trojans as a linebackers coach after spending the past 10 seasons at North Dakota State, including the past five as head coach. He led the Bison to a 60-11 record in that span, including FCS Championships in 2019 and 2021. NDSU has been among the most successful programs in the FCS across the past decade, and now Entz will look to bring that knowledge to a USC team that struggled heavily on defense last year. The Trojans ranked 119th in total defense and 1...

Lincoln Riley usually faces questions about his defense as of late, but he had to answer some regarding his offense. With USC going to the Big Ten, the environments and weather will be vastly different compared to the old Pac-12. But the Trojans’ offense should be fine, according to Riley. He even harked back to his days at Oklahoma when the Sooners had cold weather road games. “We’ll see, it’s typically translated well,” Riley said atBig Ten Media Days. We had a lot of big games when we were at OU. West Virginia and a bunch of those through the years, played in some snow games and go back and...

USC and head coach Lincoln Riley will be facing a different flavor of opponent week to week in the Big Ten. And though Pac-12 offenses were certainly not to be scoffed at, the style of play across the Big Ten will be somewhat of a departure for the Trojans. So not only does USC need to gird itself to defend powerful, bruising running attacks, it must do it while trying to bring the rushing defense out of the statistical basement. In 2023, the Trojans ranked in the bottom 30 teams in rushing yards allowed in the FBS. “You coach better and you play better,” Riley said at Big Ten Media Days of th...

USC football fans better savor this year’s season opener vs. LSU, because head coach Lincoln Riley claims that blockbuster non-conference matchups could become scarce in the new era of college football. Given the overhaul and expansion of the remaining power conferences, league slates for Big Ten and SEC teams will look incredibly daunting. With a game vs. the Tigers set up in 2024, USC gets a bit of both with that marquee non-conference game before their first nine-game Big Ten schedule. That will be tough sledding, but it could be the only year USC has to deal with that difficult of a slate....

Paul Finebaum didn’t hold back on Lincoln Riley Thursday, calling the USC Trojans leader an “average coach.” Ouch. The criticism from the ESPN commentator regarding Riley ramped up in the last week as USC, and three other schools, began their tenures in the Big Ten. Riley, who goes into Year 3 at USC, has been successful as well as three College Football Playoff appearances at Oklahoma. But Finebaum wants championships. “What he is and what he sounds like, Molly, is a slick politician,” Finebaum said on First Take. “He’s just telling people what he thinks they should hear as opposed to ‘Hey, t...

Lincoln Riley faced questions about his progress at USC and the state of the program coming off an 8-5 season. Basically, USC fans expected Riley to compete for national titles right away after he came over from Oklahoma. In a way, the Trojans did in 2022 before struggling a bit last year. Now going into Year 3, the expectations are great for USC’s entry into the Big Ten. But as Riley said, USC isn’t behind in the process, but he seemed to preach patience. “It’s definitely not behind … we’ve won 19 (games the last two years),” Riley said at Big Ten Media Days. “It could never get there fast en...

Lincoln Riley leads one of the premier brands in all of college football in the USC Trojans. Still, even they out in Hollywood are having to better keep up with the changing landscape of the sport in order to better compete. Riley spoke about his program’s adjustment to the aspects of this next era during his appearance while at Big Ten Media Days from Indianapolis on Wednesday. He noted how USC is absolutely having to better their pace in order to be where they need to be from the standpoint of finances and assets. “Oh, for sure,” said Riley. “We are playing catch up. Like, we’re playing catc...

The USC Trojans are transitioning into the Big Ten for the 2024 season and head coach Lincoln Riley is already recruiting as a Big Ten school before the season has even started. A national brand, USC has always had sway in recruiting across the country. However, Riley has already noticed an increase in recruits and interest from the players who come from the Midwest since the news broke that the Trojans would be on the move. “One, it’s opening us up even more to a different area of the country,” Lincoln Riley explained at Big Ten Media Days. “Now, we are a program, and we’re fortunate that we ...
