USC and Georgia Southern have agreed to play on Sept. 6, 2025 at the Coliseum. So Clay Helton returns to the Coliseum, if he is still the coach at Georgia Southern. Now I might normally lament USC playing someone like Georgia Southern but Lincoln Riley will be up to his eyeballs with Big Ten teams, so he needs a week off.

USC supposedly got three commitments over the weekend according to Lincoln Riley so now we know two of them.
