USC Morning Buzz: Lincoln Riley Confident Ahead Of Mighty San Jose State

A USC donor offered his experience at the Salute to Troy dinner: I didn’t see Lincoln Riley mingle at all.  I think he came from the (football) building directly to the podium (at Loker Stadium).

It’s game week. Are you getting goosebumps? Noon at the Coliseum on Saturday. Should be a nice, cool, refreshing atmosphere. A huge crowd (lol). Much better than playing Notre Dame in November. Sir Lincoln of Riley certainly thinks so. USC is paying San Jose State $1.4 million to play in Saturday’s game. So that is what it cost to replace the Notre Dame game.
