USC Trojans prepare for matchup against Washington Huskies
Summary

USC Trojans, under head coach Lincoln Riley, prepare for their game against the Washington Huskies on Saturday. The Trojans are coming off a tough loss to Oregon, raising questions about Riley's future as head coach after five years of mixed results. Quarterback Jayden Maiava has posted impressive statistics this season, showing potential despite inconsistency. The offense's performance will depend significantly on the running game, which has struggled at times. Riley's latest defensive coordinator, Gary Patterson, faces scrutiny as the team has allowed 26.4 points per game.
