That's true. This would give USC a chance to look at their next quarterback since Williams almost certainly won't play. Unless, of course, Riley gets another quarterback out of the portal.
Skip a bowl game? Silly talk. There's money involved and USC likes money. A lot. Plus with a new DC, practices and a game will help him evaluate the players.
Decline the bowl. If we have 26 transfers how do you even field a team that any bowl would want?
Not happening.
Sun Bowl, LV Bowl or LA Bowl. Guessing LA Bowl, tho USC should respectfully decline. They haven't cared about the regular season; why worry now.
A 10-2, 2nd place team is not playing a 7-5, 6th place team.
