Wisconsin loss intensifies scrutiny of Lincoln Riley

USC’s 24-7 defeat at Wisconsin has prompted renewed criticism of Riley, including former Trojan Keyshawn Johnson’s call for difficult decisions, and USC reportedly dropped ten spots to No. 25 in the Coaches Poll. Riley’s postgame comments offered explanations and accountability, but coaching-change calls and predictions remain opinion; no staff change is confirmed. The sold-out Ohio State game on October 31 is the immediate test.
