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

Their defense ain’t the issue this season.

I was a big Riley hater but he made the right offseason moves that he needed to (Lynn and the ndsu coach especially). Problem is, he had neglected the lines for his first 2 years and that doesn’t get fixed in one offseason. It’ll take them another year or two to be competitive up front but I do think they’re on the right track

This makes for an interesting discussion as to whether USC should have hired James Franklin instead. He was supposedly on the list and has never denied rumors about it, and after USC hired Riley, Franklin got his own big contract extension.
One recruits talent basically everywhere (except QB) but under performs with it. The other recruits the best QBs but can't be bothered with D and OLine, but gets average talent there by accident and sucks at developing it.

Franklin could probably scrape up a qb in so cal
I like to call it so cal
Penn State and Michigan shop at the same qb store.
Ohio States best qb recently was from Rancho Cucamonga and is letting it rip in the NFL

My unknown with programs like USC and Alabama hiring high flying offense guys is (at least in the Pac-12) USC and Alabama are teams that have and should win by being able to stack the guys up front the other programs have a harder time getting and then loading up on good RBs. I do think that's a lot harder for USC to do though with blue bloods out of region now raiding California.

Yeah he is. That kid is the best QB I've seen do it in college in a long, long time.

Riley sucks. Another choke job happening now. I think Fisch would have a better record than Riley if at USC.
-
USC got hosed
-
Unlike UW, USC can't even point to coaching staff turnover and massive roster change. Riley is in his 3rd season there and he owns it all.

usc hosed themselves being up 14 and then fucking up.
