Plaschke: Lincoln Leo will be on the hot seat after USC failed again in the big game
Another big game, another spite.
Another busy season, another lost season.
Four years after Lincoln Riley arrived at USC, amid high-profile promises to return the football program to the national stage, just two words.
Needing a win at Oregon's Autzen Stadium on Saturday to have a shot at the College Football Playoff's No. 1 seed, the Trojans once again fell short, fell deep and basically fell flat on their face.

USC's hopes for a No. 15 College Football Playoff seed fell to No. 7 Oregon
Eugene, Oregon.- The last time he came here, to sit in Theple football of The Collectoff, Lincoln Riley could only watch USC's ears.Without your triumphant chaos, resc fell tragically, he left without wondering what other times might follow.
It would take Riley nearly three years — and many ups and downs in between — to get back to the same spot with USC, only to see the door slam shut once again, this time in a 42-27 loss to Oregon.
With its playoff hopes dashed by a third loss, barring an unlikely sequence of events, USC (9-3) appears headed for a second-string game, while the Ducks are one of three Big Ten teams that could host a home playoff game.It's an especially bitter pill to swallow given the progress Riley has trumpeted this season after four years at USC.

USC is counting on the rebound
Last month, in the same half, USC lost its top two running backs to serious injuries.Eli Sanders' season ended early due to a knee injury suffered against Michigan.For Waymond Jordan, ankle surgery meant missing most of the Trojans' big runs.
It was a particularly cruel one-two punch.Through the first six games, the Trojans duo was a top rush-10 attack in the nation, leading to the best rushing season that USC saw in two decades.Then, less than an hour later, a promising start was blocked by injury.
"It was almost a death sentence," head coach Lincoln Riley said Wednesday.

Times of Troy: Why Lincoln Riley felt the Trojans changed at halftime against Iowa
Welcome to the Times of Troy newsletter. Hopefully by the time you read this, you too will have finally dried off. Or maybe it's still raining where you are. But regardless of the weather, things are looking pretty bright for Lincoln Riley and the University of Southern California so far.
The Trojans are now one win away from a trip to the College Football Playoff, but it wasn't about the route at No. 8 Oregon in the marquee matchup this time, as the rain forced them to beat a team like IOWA on Saturday.
Riley later said he felt that shift at halftime, when the team's playoff hopes hung in the balance.His Trojans outscored Iowa 21-10, after suffering the same slow start in their last two games.They played, they worked, they were kept.The run defense was terrible.The offense was stuck in the mud.

USC's transfer gate Protection spark its push to the edge of a playoff bert
When Lincoln Riley first landed in Los Angeles, his bold plan to instantly rebuild USC's defunct roster revolved almost entirely around the transfer portal.The Trojans secured two dozen transfers before his debut season, including two of the top running backs, three of the top four receivers, six defensive players and, of course, a Heisman-winning quarterback.
The plan worked quite well for Riley and Co. at the time.USC had 11 wins in 2022 and missed the College Football Playoff.
But things didn't go as planned for the next two seasons.Ray and his staff applied many quick fixes across the board, but with the same results.

When the second quarter in a row was finally completed, his arms jumped in the air, arms reaching towards the sky.The last three hours of rain, for USC and its coaches, they continued to smash with anger.Their defense was nearly uncontrollable at the hands of Iowa's offense.His team's football hotel was almost washed away by the rain.
However, that moment, when the Trojans' defense led IOWA to an eventual 26-21 victory over IOWA, was not a euphoric offseason for USC and its coach.
“Culture wins, man, if there is such a thing,” Riley said.

USC VS.OREGON: Lincoln Riley takes the pressure off the competition for the playoffs
Before taking the reins at USC, Lincoln Riley had a reputation as a road warrior.It wasn't until his third season at Oklahoma that Riley's team lost a true road game with him as head coach.During his five years with the Lions, he won 17 of 21 on the road.
But Trojans coach Riley's four years as a one-time glory feel like the color of a past life.Until USC's win at Nebraska earlier this month, Riley had defeated the team that had the best finish in the ANTOP league since 2022.Otherwise, outside of L.A. against a team of Riley's caliber.USC's lone road win against Oregon State ... leads the Trojans in their fourth straight game.
