Social Media roasts Lincoln Riley and USC losing yet again to Utah
With Notre Dame having an off week it meant a lot of Fighting Irish fans were looking elsewhere to scratch their college football itch this weekend. A common place for many to get it was by watching the team Notre Dame played just a week ago return home to take on a conference rival.
We’re of course talking about USC who played host to Utah on Saturday night in a game that has provided some thrilling affairs in recent years.
Saturday night was no different as USC came back from being down two-scores to take the lead late but allowed Utah to march and kick a game-winning field goal as time expired.
Final Score: Utah 34, USC 32.
Of course college football fans took to social media undefinedto let their thoughts be known right after the contest. Check out some of the best below.

USC destroyed a 100-year-old conference because they’re afraid of Utah. Seems crazy but true.

The way they are playing USC could be 7-5 when it’s all said and done. Let that sink in.

And you just hate to possibly see that…

Lincoln Riley’s shown the past month he isnt ready for prime time to be responsible for a program of this caliber. Like I said on this weeks @TrojansWire, “he was given the keys to a Cadillac & hes driven like a Honda Civic cause he thinks he’s a better driver than everyone else” https://t.co/DQyeAc1CPf

Head coach berates game officials. Bans reporter. Prevents team from talking after loss. The guy is really minor league despite the myths https://t.co/Cma1XzdXw5

SOFT
I get why this is his instinct but it comes from the same place that makes USC soft as a football program https://t.co/WJ4do7pAD4

Free Fall?
USC was a Top 10 win when Notre Dame routed the Trojans last weekend.
USC may not be a Top 25 team by mid-November.

Trojans Wire saw this one coming
The game was in the hands of an Alex Grinch defense.
It ended the way you expected it would.

Hey Buddy...
Lincoln Riley said USC doesn’t “come in every week talking about winning a national championship … I don’t know where that narrative starts.”
In July ’22, @BillPlaschke asked him about expectations:
Riley: “To win the championship. … We didn’t come here to play for second.”

Changes Coming to USC?
It will take a strong athletic director to demand obvious changes to the USC coaching staff. Especially with a head coach who doesn't like being told what to do
