Not saying I agree with all of it, but much of this article you read from me all year.
QB's should have both been used and packages developed for Maiava early. WR's were way overrated and Branch sucks. This guy likes Duce and I like Lane. We agree on Lemon.
Lincoln Riley’s lack of great players put USC football in trouble
He put more on the DB's than I would have. I think the QB play he nailed. It was adequate. Average. Sometimes good. USC has been and is used to far better and relies on more. The WR's were supposed to be the most electric, reliable deep and athletic in the country. By the end most of the time I felt they weren't even necessarily the best on the field. Not sure who the WR coach is, but I am not impressed
Because Riley is a fraud. It's really that simple.
