While a loss can be frustrating, all USC fans truly want to see is a team that gives full effort at all times. The adage of leaving everything out there on the field comes to mind.
As shared on X by Paulie Walnuts, Ja'Kobi Lane made a social media post in which the Trojan logo was in the background. The caption "I'd die for this logo," with him clearly amped up, gives an example of the type of mentality that is needed within the USC locker room.
Having someone who is willing to give all-out effort and who shows the willingness to drive a team to victory is an element that has been missing from the past seasons.
