Lincoln Riley is going into his third season at USC, looking to bounce back from a frustrating 2023 season. As he does that, he’ll need to oversee the transition into the Big Ten and away from the team’s Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback. All of that is a difficult task and one that SEC Network analyst Paul Finebaum doesn’t seem to believe he’s capable of doing. In fact, if things went wrong and Riley was let go by USC, Finebaum explained on McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning that he thinks the only way back for him would be as a coordinator. “I don’t know how you get through that [buyout] ex...

As Lincoln Riley begins his third season at USC, Paul Finebaum believes this will be his final one. The ESPN college football analyst joined McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning on Monday and discussed the offensive guru’s coaching future. Riley led Oklahoma to four Big 12 titles and three College Football Playoff berths, before leaving to become the head coach at USC ahead of the 2022 season. He is 19-8 across two seasons with the Trojans, and defense continues to be an issue. To add insult to injury, last week, Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione took a shot at Riley, implying that he didn’t want to g...

Tyron Smith is one of the newest members of the New York Jets but the All-Pro offensive tackle’s wedding over the weekend had quite a lot of Cowboys flavor. The long-time left tackle for Dallas had former Cowboys linemen La’El Collins and Cameron Erving as groomsmen and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was in attendance with his girlfriend Sarah Jane. Smith tied the knot with his wife Holly after popping the question in April of 2023. The NFL veteran has a son, a daughter and a one-year-old boy, making for a happy family of five. It’s unclear where the couple conducted their nuptials but the r...

It’s no secret, Lincoln Riley’s second season with the Trojans wasn’t what folks had hoped, ending in a 7-5 regular season despite having the future No. 1 overall pick taking snaps. However, on a recent episode of The Herd, Cowherd and Klatt explained the path for the Trojans to establish themselves as a playoff contender early on in 2024. “I actually say, to all those people that think USC is never going to...

Former USC defensive back Ceyair Wright has committed to Nebraska out of the NCAA transfer portal. Wright played for the Trojans for three seasons and set career highs in 2022. Over the course of three years, Wright finished with 41 total tackles, 30 solo tackles, one tackle for loss, one interception and five pass deflections.

Titans defensive end Jeffery Simmons is a detailed-oriented kind of player. It’s late June and he’s already planned his taunts for when Tennessee takes on the Bears the second Sunday in September. Specifically, Simmons knows what he’s going to say the first time he needs rookie quarterback Caleb Williams on the ground. Maybe Simmons notched the sack. Or maybe a fellow Titans defender made a big play. Doesn’t matter. Simmons plans to look down and yell at the youngster “painted nails!” “I can’t wait to say that to him,” Simmons told Rich Eisen during an interview earlier this week. As far as cr...

Miller Moss isn’t the favorite to win the 2024 Heisman Trophy but he’s certainly in the race. On Monday, On3’s Andy Staples and Jesse Simonton weighed in on the USC quarterback’s chances to take home the prestigious award. “I did not have Miller Moss on my top 10 overall list but, on the Big Ten list, I had him listed as the wildcard candidate,” Simonton said. “It’s probably pretty smart to put a Lincoln Riley quarterback on any of these preseason lists—even if you’re skeptical maybe of Miller’s Moss’ upside—because of Riley’s history with the quarterback position and getting these guys to eit...

There’s going to be improvement for USC in 2024, so long as the defense takes a step forward, according to Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt. As is the case seemingly every year, the Trojans have to get better on that side of the ball if they’re to support Lincoln Riley’s offense. Now moving to the Big Ten in 2024, it might be much more important. Still, Klatt is high on USC to bounce back from an eight-win season. “USC is a fascinating one because I’ve always said as you know, that all Lincoln Riley needs is just an average defense and that’s going to be a really good team,” Klatt said on his show. “The...
