Oct 12, 2024, 11:18 PM
USC's football team faced a significant loss against Penn State, dropping to a 3-3 record under head coach Lincoln Riley. Riley, who has been criticized for his clock management and playcalling, faced backlash from fans and media alike. This loss marks Riley's 11th defeat at USC in 33 games, compared to his 10 losses in 65 games at Oklahoma. Penn State's victory was highlighted by a controversial moment when players attempted to plant a flag at midfield, which head coach James Franklin quickly stopped. The game also saw Franklin using explicit language, adding to the charged atmosphere. USC had a two-touchdown lead but failed to maintain it, leading to criticism of Riley's coaching decisions. Riley is now 3-7 vs. Top 25 teams and is reportedly earning $10 million-plus.
