USC, Lincoln Riley have no juice, only excuses for average football
The Coliseum looks like a mausoleum because of bad USC football. Not the weather.
A recent USA TODAY Sports article critiques USC's recent football performance and attendance under coach Lincoln Riley. The piece argues that USC has become reliant on excuses to justify poor results, rather than addressing the core issues. The author points out that during USC's peak period, the team drew significantly higher attendance figures, even in less favorable conditions.
The current team, however, has struggled with losses to top-tier opponents and poor fan engagement. The author suggests that Riley's inability to produce winning results is a major factor in the dwindling fanbase. The article concludes by stating that USC needs to demonstrate better performance to justify the high salary of its coach and attract a larger audience.
