USC football wins, but shaky performance doesn't quiet noise around Lincoln Riley

Southern California secured a narrow victory against Washington over the weekend, but the sluggish showing failed to alleviate mounting pressure on head coach Lincoln Riley. The eighteenth-ranked squad managed to edge out the Huskies despite a sluggish start that left the team trailing at halftime and prompted student sections to chant for the coach's dismissal.

Head coach Lincoln Riley arrived unusually late to the facility prior to kick-off, compounding a week defined by inquiries regarding the state of the program rather than the upcoming matchup. Although a defensive score helped the Trojans reclaim the lead and a late defensive stand preserved the outcome, the offense produced just two touchdowns while penalties and defensive lapses nearly cost them the game.
