At the Trojans’ first Big Ten Media Day, Riley says his team is ‘at the top’ of the conference and makes clear the program still has a journey ahead of it
USC football coach Lincoln Riley talks with reporters during Big Ten Media Day on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. INDIANAPOLIS — His eyebrows narrowed at the mention of USC’s conference rivals, his tone firmed, and in the span of a few words Wednesday morning, Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley made expressively clear his program’s place in a new-look Big Ten.
“One thing I’ve been steadfast on, since the day I got to Los Angeles, was – our standards will never change there,” Riley emphasized to hundreds of media conglomerated for his opening address. “Our standards at USC are to compete for championships, whether we’re in the beginning of this rebuild that we undertook two years ago.
Two years ago, Lanning took over a 10-win program at Oregon. Two years ago, coach Ryan Day and Ohio State came off an 11-win season. Two years ago, Riley came in amid chaos at USC, the program just canning longtime head coach Clay Helton midseason and finishing 4-8.
