USC’s Lincoln Riley discusses 2024 football schedule on Big Ten Network
USC Trojans football head coach Lincoln Riley sat down with Rick Pizzo of Big Ten Network. He discussed Caleb Williams and the 2024 USC football schedule. At Trojans Wire, we think the Penn State home game on Oct. 12 might be the pivot point of the 2024 college football season for USC, which will not have a whole lot of margin for error in the rugged Big Ten Conference: If USC beats LSU and gets to mid-October with only one loss, this game might determine whether the Trojans make the playoff. Penn State at home is not an easy game, but it is also a game USC should probably win. The Trojans’ defense should be much improved in 2024, and that’s what gives us confidence to pick USC over Penn State. The Nittany Lions simply haven’t developed their offense enough to merit the benefit of the doubt here. If this game was in Happy Valley, we would probably give PSU the edge, but not in Los Angeles.
