It is clear that coach Lincoln Riley is under a lot of pressure this season. After what was a good first year as the USC HC, coach Riley has since seen his teams regress. This aspect was particularly highlighted in the program's inaugural year in the Big Ten.
Now, the heat is on for coach Riley. It cannot, though, be questioned as to how good of a coach he is. He coached multiple Heisman Trophy winners and has shown the ability, particularly on offense, to be an elite coach.
In Troy, however, to this point, things have not exactly come together.
