The USC head coach hasn't shied away from shying away historically
USC head football coach Lincoln Riley hasn't been one to shy away from shying away in his coaching career.
We all know how that ended up - with Riley instead taking the USC job while Brian Kelly skipped merrily away from Notre Dame to take over the LSU football program. Does Cowherd actually think that or is he simply repeating what the coach of the program he most enjoys desires? “And listen, we're not the first example of that. Look all the way across the country. There has been a lot of other teams sacrifice rivalry games. And I'm not saying that's what's going to happen. But as we get into this Playoff structure, and if it changes or not, we’re in this new conference, we're going to learn something about this as we go and what the right and the best track is to winning a national championship, that's going to evolve.
And yes, that same Alabama that goes to Camp Randall to play Wisconsin this year and has a home-and-home on the books with, you guessed it, Notre Dame.For as long as you can look back, USC has been a football program that has never been afraid of scheduling a big game. Would the masses have been crying for Florida State to make the College Football Playoff in 2023 had they played a bunch of cupcakes outside of the ACC? The masses were pulling for them in large part because they wanted to see a program that beat up two traditional SEC powers in their out-of-conference slate.There is good news regarding the future of this rivalry that carries more weight than anything.
