If something like this takenplace — and by “this,” we mean Lincoln Riley losing decisively in a huge videogame — you understood the wolves and the vultures would be out in force.
Lincoln Riley got blown up and blown out in College Football Playoff losses at Oklahoma. It occurred versus Alabama in the 2018 season and the Orange Bowl. It tookplace versus LSU in the 2019 season and that year’s Peach Bowl.
Buy Trojans Tickets
“Chokelahoma” and “Jokelahoma” were familiar jabs lobbed at Riley in the wake of those avalanche-style losses.
Now USC is tasting the Lincoln Riley schadenfreude. Again, you understood it was coming.
Simple point: All the hatred coming from the outside is a suggestion that USC is in reality back. USC matters onceagain. USC is nationally pertinent. Trojan fans oughtto treasure that and let the hate slide right off their shoulders.
Here’s what the hatred looked like:
YAWN
Wherever Lincoln Riley and Caleb Williams end up next year is going to endedupbeing an instant competitor.

OF COURSE, SKIP
Predictably, Stinkin’ Lincoln Riley’s no-tackling USC D hasactually provided up another 47 to Utah. It’s Oklahoma all over onceagain. All offense, humiliating defense. What did the Trojans missouton tonight, 30 takeson??? As an Oklahoma fan, I do not missouton THIS.

OKAY, THIS IS ACTUALLY FACTUAL
You’re informing me a Lincoln Riley group has a Heisman QB, an unbelievable offense, and a defense that cannot dealwith, cover or stop the run. And is going to lose a videogame since stated QB wasn’t 100% best? Huh. That’s uncommon… #BoomerSooner

USC’S TEAM IS GOOD (JUST NOT BETTER THAN UTAH)
Yo @LincolnRiley you can purchase a ROSTER however you can’t buy a TEAM! ✌️ #CryOn
