USC Morning Buzz: Someone Will Be Coaching For Their Life Saturday

A college coach told me Monday that he expects Penn State coach James Franklin to be coaching for his life on Saturday because he wants to impress USC’s administration.

“He would love that USC job but he needs to beat USC,” the coach said. “He’s going to be fired up for that game.”

The knock on Franklin going into this game was supposed to be his 12-26 record at Penn State against Top 25 teams. But USC dropped out of the Top 25.

That puts the spotlight back on Lincoln Riley, who is 3-6 against Top 25 teams since he came to USC.

  • USC superfan Colin Cowherd is starting to turn on his buddy Lincoln Riley.

But the superfan shows his shortcomings by complaining that a problem with USC is Micah Banuelos being the backup right tackle because he is 6-feet-2. Does Cowherd watch the games?

When Elijah Paige has been removed at right tackle, Tobias Raymond, who is 6-feet-7, is the replacement. Not Banuelos.

So he can’t even get his argument straight. Remind the fanboys who worship Cowherd that he is can’t get his facts straight with his favorite team.

  1. James Franklin would be a lateral move for USC, but he is a Wolf favorite.

    If Riley goes 2 and 5 in his last seven with loses to PSU, ucla and ND, is he still safe ?

      1. Not so sure he doesn’t lose to all three. We’ll see on Saturday if he’s lost the team, much like he did last season.

      3. karma — you won’t have to wait till the end of the game to see if Riley’s lost the team —- if the Trojans aren’t ready to send a message in the first quarter we’re in deep doodie….

        These guys plays more like a team than last year. My guess is the 2023 team got sick of the Caleb Drama…. especially the jumping into mommy’s lap and crying thing….

  2. I can’t stand Colin Cowherd —-but —- to be fair — he was just referring to Riley’s terrible recruiting and our weak bench when he made the comment about Micah…..

  4. The Penn St coach is going to Florida by all accounts, so why would he need to impress SC. A larger motivation for him and the SC coach would be to win a big game to quiet the crowd who clamors”He can’t win the big ones!’

  6. The best teams in baseball only win 60% of the time and the worst teams 40%, so games are competitive. And that’s why a very good team like the Dodgers can still lose 3 in a 5-game series

  11. What does it mean for a coach to “lose” his team, in any game the players are motivated to do their best notwithstanding their feelings about their coach

    2. I think “losing your team” can mean a variety of things. In 2023, I believe the defense lost confidence in and respect for Grinch….and stopped playing hard. This year, it looks a little like the skill players are getting disgusted with Henson and his o-line. [btw, last year it seemed like the whole team was getting exhausted with the Caleb Show by the time the UCLA game rolled around. There was a night and day difference between that game and the Holiday Bowl when the team had shed a certain prima donna].

  16. I think Scott and Cowherd are both wrong. Paige plays left tackle, not right. When he was replaced, Murphy who plays right tackle moved over to left tackle and then Raymond, the back-up right tackle, replaced Murphy. Banuelos had nothing to do with it.
