00:00I got to start you in Los Angeles, Mike.
00:02Lincoln Riley in USC.
00:04How hot is that seat right now for him with the Trojans?
00:09Man, look, you know, everybody was complaining about how hot it was in the stadium their first game of the
00:14season.
00:14Lincoln Riley hadn't felt that hot all season.
00:17Like, it was hot that first reason why they didn't have a lot of fans in the stadium.
00:21That plus, nobody's excited about USC football because, you know,
00:25even though the expectations are always there for USC football, they haven't lived up to those expectations.
00:30And they got to, at the beginning of the season, a Heisman candidate in Jaden Maiava.
00:35The offense is going to be good, but everybody was really concerned about the defense.
00:39And the defense, once again, even under Gary Patterson as a defense coordinator, has not been able to come through.
00:45So, yes, Lincoln Riley, they still have a tough schedule ahead of them.
00:49They still got Oregon.
00:50They got, you know, games, I think, against Ohio State coming up as well.
00:55So, they still have chances of making up that ground.
00:58They've only had one loss this season.
01:00But unless he turns things around, if this team does not make the playoffs this year,
01:04or if this team makes the playoffs and they get bounced in the first round,
01:07Lincoln Riley is out of here like last year, bro.
01:10Man, no doubt about it.
01:11I think he's under the gun right now for sure.
