After a disappointing 2023 season, the USC Trojans are heading into the new year with confidence. They lost a lot of talent across the roster, but believe the new coaching staff will help them improve.
Lincoln Riley is still the team's head coach and is putting pressure on himself to put together a winning season. Riley has to show this team is moving in the right direction. Otherwise, things at school may start to get awkward for him.
The veteran head coach praised his team's efforts this offseason. The staff has made the players' development a top priority, and Riley is proud of his players' efforts.
USC needed to add some physicality to the defensive side of the field this offseason, and the team believes it did just that. Having some players add more weight to their offseason training should help improve that and give them more strength heading into the season.
New defensive coordinator Danton Lynn was brought in to turn the defense around after helping USC's rivals do the same. Lin's style is simple, so the Trojans would be better off keeping him in the building.
USC is looking for more success this season, and it all starts with what they're working on now. The goal of winning a national championship remains the same, and the Trojans' journey begins right away.
