Eugene, Oregon - September 18: College football analyst Josh Pate's predictions about USC Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley have left Rich Eisen stunned. On The Rich Eisen Show, Pate suggested that USC had already given Riley ample time and resources to turn the program around. He pointed to defensive coordinator changes, new facilities, a top recruiting class, and a sold-out Coliseum as evidence of the Trojans' environment to achieve success.
However, Pate argued that Oregon's 41-27 loss to the Ducks may have been the pivotal moment that signaled the end of Riley's tenure at USC. Despite Oregon losing their starting quarterback, Dante Moore, and still maintaining a double-digit victory margin, Pate compared Riley's situation to James Franklin's final days at Penn State, stating that certain losses can permanently alter how a program views its coach. Pate believes that Oregon's loss to USC may be the game that ends Riley's tenure at USC.
