USC is officially a College Football Playoff contender. Write it down in ink, etch it in stone and bookmark this page in case Old Takes Exposed needs it down the road. That's the kind of impact Williams will make in Los Angeles.
The Trojans return four of their top five receivers from last year's squad, all of whom took on more responsibility when Drake London's season ended two-thirds of the way through. They are well-schooled, versatile and should thrive in Riley's wide-open system.
Yes, USC finished last season with the best offense in the Pac-12 at 443.9 yards per game. But neither that mark, nor the 5.91 yards per play average, landed it in the top 20 nationally. Williams is a significant upgrade from Slovis and Dart, and he should be the catalyst that vaults the Trojans at or near the 500-yard-per-game mark -- a place Riley led the Sooners on a regular basis.
Sunshine pumper alert! CBS - taking clickbait to a new low. Turnaround will take 3 years minimum. Yes, SC is that far down.
RAH RAH!
Not yet. Too many holes on the LOS, depth issues.
13 portal pickups will help the time frame though. 2023 will be a trending year. Like 2002 was for Pete.
2024 is the year we contend.
