It has been difficult for USC fans. Particularly last season, the Trojans seemed to find a way in close games to avoid winning, often finding frustrating ways to flip a victory into a loss.
Now entering his fourth year as the USC head coach, coach Lincoln Riley is ensuring that some of the aspects that have recently held the Trojans back are being taken care of.
Particularly on defense, the aspect of giving up cheap first downs and easier touchdowns is something that will be drastically reduced in 2025.
With the continuity on offense, there are a lot of reasons to believe that the Trojans are going to be able to find success this season.
