Five takeaways from USC’s 25-21 victory over Washington

USC secured a narrow 25-21 win against Washington on Saturday evening, raising its record to 5-1 overall and 2-1 within the Big Ten. Head coach Lincoln Riley faced intense scrutiny entering the contest, and while this victory provides temporary relief, his position remains precarious after a performance marked by nine penalties and a slow start against a struggling opponent.

Despite defensive lapses and continuing discipline issues, the Trojans rallied by scoring the final 15 unanswered points to close out the match successfully. The team now prepares for an upcoming road trip to face Penn State next Saturday afternoon.
