Lincoln Riley still thinks USC can be ‘a really good team’ despite loss to Minnesota

LA Times  

An unseasonably warm breeze blew through Huntington Bank Stadium. But nothing about Saturday night’s 24-17 loss to Minnesota would leave USC feeling comfortable with its new place in its new conference. “We’ve got the makings of a really good team,” said Lincoln Riley, who has lost seven of his last 12 as the Trojans coach. “We gave up a couple pressures in untimely moments, but we took some steps.” USC did manage to run the ball well behind its line, as Riley was sure to note, with Woody Marks racking up 134 yards in 20 carries and Quinten Joyner tallying 44 before losing a crucial fumble. Still, when asked if he’d change any of his decisions, Riley said there was “nothing off the top of my head.” There weren’t many answers either for how USC’s defense unraveled on that last Minnesota drive, as the Gophers marched down the field, bleeding away precious second after precious second with 12 plays.
