CFB analyst predicts tough road for Lincoln Riley

ESPN's Paul Finebaum predicts a challenging season for Lincoln Riley as the USC Trojans transition to the Big Ten in 2024. Riley once hailed for leading the Oklahoma Sooners to four straight Big 12 championships, hasn’t been able to travel on a smooth road since moving to USC in 2022.

While the Trojans won the Pac-12 championship game in his first season, their 2023 season was less impressive, finishing with an 8-5 record.

Paul Finebaum didn't hold back in his assessment on the Paul Finebaum Show, saying:

"Bruce Feldman said a minute ago that he thought they are looking at about seven wins, which is pretty dangerous when you are the USC coach and you have two back-to-back bad seasons."
"I mean, I think it's over for Riley, anyway. To me, he's lost control. And once you lose control, you're like in the middle of quicksand.”

The USC Trojans face a daunting schedule as they adapt to the Big Ten, with tough matchups against Wisconsin, Minnesota, Penn State, and Maryland.
