USC coach Lincoln Riley says the team has failed to meet expectations but sees an opportunity for it to grow stronger during its final four games.
The vibes, as the kids say, were off. Even when USC was undefeated, putting up record-breaking numbers on offense behind a quarterback still favored to win his second Heisman, nothing felt good enough. Coach Lincoln Riley pushed his team to “play on our own terms,” but his attempts to ignore and isolate from outside criticism grew futile. Expectations crept in. Expectations wore the Trojans down. Expectations felt bigger than the wins USC piled up en route to a 6-0 record.
The reshuffled line will remain in place this week, Henson said, as the Trojans cut down their sacks surrendered to three and established a stronger running game that averaged 6.3 yards per carry. Kingston primarily played left guard at Washington State but said he feels more natural at tackle because the position allows him to use his athleticism in space. Murphy played in all 14 games last season and started five at tackle.
