After win over No. 2 Ohio State, USC coach Lincoln Riley reiterates that he's the 'right person' for the Trojans
Riley campaigned for himself ahead of the 30-18 win over the Buckeyes and continued to do so after the game.
After USC's upset victory over No. 2 Ohio State, coach Lincoln Riley emphasized that he is the right person for the Trojans. At his post-game press conference, Riley read from a prepared statement following the conclusion of questions. Riley had previously stated his confidence in his ability to lead the team, and he reiterated that sentiment in his press conference remarks.
The coach stressed that USC's success is not built on external praise but on the dedication and hard work of the entire staff, players, and leadership within the program. Riley highlighted the significance of the win, which comes after a loss to Wisconsin and the team being left out of the AP Top 25. He pointed out that the Trojans' impressive plays against Ohio State's strong defense were crucial in securing the 30-18 win.
Riley also mentioned that the team's record of 10-2 at the end of the regular season could potentially secure a spot in the College Football Playoff, provided they continue to perform well in their remaining games against Indiana, UCLA, and Maryland.
