Even Lincoln Riley's famed offense can't bail USC out of mess

Thanks Taft!

"Think about this: What do Billy Napier (Florida), Sonny Dykes (TCU), Sam Pittman (Arkansas), Hugh Freeze (Auburn) and Riley have in common?
They’ve all lost seven of their last 12 games."
Ouch!

I didn’t know his offense was famous. I haven’t seen them participate in any Subway commercials this year.
-
I really remember everyone, me included, thinking USC was going to be BACK with Riley, especially since he was bringing Caleb Williams with him and that Pitt WR. It really feels like he's dead though already and was coasting off taking over Stoops' operation and playing in a conference where no one had a defense. Time to thaw out Pete Carroll.

USC offense isn't even good. Riley is turning out to be a poor man's KKKliff KKKingsbury.

Uh, not everyone. I don't see a lot of things coming, but his "no defense" M/O did not look like a good fit at USC. I thought he'd come to the Pac and tell himself, "great! I don't need to play defense out there."
Candidly, they're actually better than I thought they'd be under him.
I think I'm on record here with this hot take.
-
USC was the best offense UW played last year and Williams the best qb
-
It would take me a while, but I could find my posts arguing that it was insane for them to pay a coach that's never put a functional defense on the field that much money.
-
UW just had a down game IMO. Should have blown out Trooj.
-
If USC was smart and had relative faith in Riley, just go pay $5 million a year to Robert Saleh and hand him total control over the defense. (Assuming that Riley's ego could withstand that).
