It can be difficult right now to have hope about USC in 2025. The product hasn't been where it needs to be in recent memory. Just because some of the latest seasons did not see enough Trojan success, however, does not mean that there is a destiny of disappointment within the program.
For some, there isn't a foreseeable way to envision a successful year for USC. This sentiment can't be passed off as analysis. Only basing what 2025 will look like on how the previous seasons went is far from anything that takes the multitude of factors or anything beyond the surface-level facts into consideration.
