Summary
How close is USC football to turning the corner? In this episode, we welcome back USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham to break down the Trojans’ transition into the Big Ten, why Lincoln Riley’s offense faltered in 2024, and whether the defensive gains under D'Anton Lynn are real or illusion. We dive into the quarterback situation, the evolving recruiting strategy under Chad Bowden, and the vibes around the program heading into a crucial 2025 season.
