Caleb Williams and the USC fanbase deserve better after what unfolded in the Trojans' 46-45 loss to Tulane in the Cotton Bowl. It all starts with Lincoln Riley.
That was Wild Bunch stuff compared to Monday afternoon, when the tire tracks were deep and indelible across a defense that gave up 539 yards while helping blow a 15-point lead in the final four-and-a-half minutes.
One moment, the Trojans and their unstoppable offense were in control, their lead was 45-30, the overmatched and outmanned Green Wave were exhausted, this game was over. Riley will surely make offseason changes to his defensive leadership beginning with embattled coordinator, right? Riley surely realizes he is risking the ruination of the final season of arguably the greatest quarterback in USC history by forcing Williams to tote this unsightly defensive baggage, correct?
He’s supposed to coach the whole team, OK? Anything less and Riley isn’t fulfilling the vow he made to turn the Trojans into championship contenders.“As tough a loss as I can remember in my entire career,” Riley said. “We obviously put ourselves in phenomenal position to get it done.”
