Criticism Mounts on USC Coach Lincoln Riley

USC Trojans' head coach Lincoln Riley faces mounting criticism as his team suffers a fifth one-possession loss of the season, this time against the Washington Huskies with a 26-21 defeat. The Trojans, now at 4-5, have lost their fourth-quarter lead in every game this season, contributing to a 12-12 record over the last 24 games. Despite his previous success at Oklahoma, Riley has recorded at least three losses in each of his first three seasons with USC, and fans have grown increasingly frustrated with his coaching decisions. The team's failure to capitalize on early opportunities and defensive weaknesses were highlighted as key issues in their recent performances. Social media reactions and critical comments from fans underscore the dissatisfaction with the team's trajectory. USC will attempt to rebuild its season momentum against Nebraska on November 16, as calls for strategic changes and a commitment to the run game grow louder.
