Week two brings a unique storyline to the Coliseum as USC hosts Georgia Southern on Saturday night. The matchup marks the return of former Trojans head coach Clay Helton, who was dismissed early in the 2021 season following a humbling home loss to Stanford, a decision that ultimately paved the way for Lincoln Riley’s arrival in Los Angeles. While Georgia Southern represents a step up in competition from Missouri State, the narrative of Helton’s return will dominate headlines throughout the week, setting the stage for what many are calling the “Clay Helton Bowl.” With that in mind, here are the Reign of Troy staff’s predictions for Week 2.
