A superhero at quarterback. A rolling run game. A ferocious front. That dominant win over Notre Dame, in the final week of the 2022 season, had in many ways been the high-water mark of the coach\u2019s Trojan tenure, the sort of major moment that would seemingly propel a program to new heights.<\/p>\n<p>The two years since have been spent chasing that feeling to no avail, with one frustrating season bled into another. The star quarterback left, his backup was benched. The run game was neglected. The front was never quite as fearsome again. But Riley continued reassuring the moment and its magic would return, pointing to the program\u2019s progress and defending its direction at all costs.<\/p>\n<p>Any hope for this season had long expired well before USC lost 49-35 to No. 6 Notre Dame in its regular-season finale on Saturday. But in its final breaths were both brief glimpses of what USC could be and also painful reminders of how far it had fallen since that night two Novembers ago.<\/p>\n<p>The juxtaposition only made the Trojans\u2019 6-6 season more difficult to swallow. In each of those six losses, USC had fallen short in some form or fashion. Saturday, a defeat Riley called \u201cexcruciating,\u201d was no different.<\/p>\n<div class=\"enhancement\" data-click=\"enhancement\" data-align-center=\"\">\n<figure class=\"figure\"> <picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/a8070a9\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4304x3392+0+0\/resize\/320x252!\/format\/webp\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Ff3%2Fa0%2F82f3860443e487129661a2716bf6%2F1484923-la-sp-ncaa-football-usc-notre-dame-3-gmf.jpg 320w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/239d825\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4304x3392+0+0\/resize\/568x448!\/format\/webp\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Ff3%2Fa0%2F82f3860443e487129661a2716bf6%2F1484923-la-sp-ncaa-football-usc-notre-dame-3-gmf.jpg 568w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/8abcdda\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4304x3392+0+0\/resize\/768x605!\/format\/webp\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Ff3%2Fa0%2F82f3860443e487129661a2716bf6%2F1484923-la-sp-ncaa-football-usc-notre-dame-3-gmf.jpg 768w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/e8c2120\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4304x3392+0+0\/resize\/1024x807!\/format\/webp\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Ff3%2Fa0%2F82f3860443e487129661a2716bf6%2F1484923-la-sp-ncaa-football-usc-notre-dame-3-gmf.jpg 1024w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/7f253c2\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4304x3392+0+0\/resize\/1200x946!\/format\/webp\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Ff3%2Fa0%2F82f3860443e487129661a2716bf6%2F1484923-la-sp-ncaa-football-usc-notre-dame-3-gmf.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><img class=\"image\" alt=\"Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love dives into the end zone to score as USC players try to stop him.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/118ff19\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4304x3392+0+0\/resize\/320x252!\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Ff3%2Fa0%2F82f3860443e487129661a2716bf6%2F1484923-la-sp-ncaa-football-usc-notre-dame-3-gmf.jpg 320w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/cb3e1f2\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4304x3392+0+0\/resize\/568x448!\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Ff3%2Fa0%2F82f3860443e487129661a2716bf6%2F1484923-la-sp-ncaa-football-usc-notre-dame-3-gmf.jpg 568w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/8e5e145\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4304x3392+0+0\/resize\/768x605!\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Ff3%2Fa0%2F82f3860443e487129661a2716bf6%2F1484923-la-sp-ncaa-football-usc-notre-dame-3-gmf.jpg 768w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/80e57f6\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4304x3392+0+0\/resize\/1024x807!\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Ff3%2Fa0%2F82f3860443e487129661a2716bf6%2F1484923-la-sp-ncaa-football-usc-notre-dame-3-gmf.jpg 1024w,https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/8609408\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4304x3392+0+0\/resize\/1200x946!\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Ff3%2Fa0%2F82f3860443e487129661a2716bf6%2F1484923-la-sp-ncaa-football-usc-notre-dame-3-gmf.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" width=\"1200\" height=\"946\" src=\"https:\/\/ca-times.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/8609408\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4304x3392+0+0\/resize\/1200x946!\/quality\/75\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Ff3%2Fa0%2F82f3860443e487129661a2716bf6%2F1484923-la-sp-ncaa-football-usc-notre-dame-3-gmf.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>   <\/picture>\n<div class=\"figure-content\">\n<p>Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love (4) dives into the end zone to score as USC safety Akili Arnold (0) and his teammates try to stop him Saturday at the Coliseum.<\/p>\n<p>(Gina Ferazzi\/Los Angeles Times)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<p>Jayden Maiava had done all he could to sidestep that heartbreaking fate, willing the Trojans down the field in ways that reminded \u2014 at least in spurts \u2014 of his predecessor, Caleb Williams.

In the postgame news conference, he brimmed with pride at how hard USC had fought through a frustrating season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t question this football team,\u201d Riley said. \u201cThere\u2019s times we could\u2019ve played better, sure. There\u2019s times we could\u2019ve coached better, yeah. Did we miss some opportunities? Yes we did. We laid it on the line every single week. My message to the guys was you continue to do that through your life, you continue to do that with this football program, and the things you want will come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two years after Williams whipped up expectations of USC fans by picking apart rival Notre Dame in the Coliseum, the Trojans are still waiting for an encore and Riley is still pointing toward the future.<\/p>\n<div class=\"enhancement\" data-click=\"enhancement\" data-align-center=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-enhancement\" data-video-disable-history=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-enhancement-player\">  <ps-youtubeplayer data-video-player=\"\" class=\"youtube-video-player video-player youtube-video-player-facade\" data-player-id=\"f705fee45909a4b74b1cfcbfd36aa1d3d\" data-video-id=\"eAKYP9gHJtY\" data-video-title=\"No. 5 Notre Dame vs. USC: FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | Big Ten on CBS\" data-slot-name=\"\/21787098806\/web.latimes\/sports\/usc\/video\" data-lazy-offset=\"1.0\" data-autoplay-threshold=\"50\" data-miniplayer=\"\" data-internal-video-id=\"eAKYP9gHJtY\" data-ad-slot-name=\"\/21787098806\/web.latimes\/sports\/usc\/video\" data-ad-provider=\"ima\" data-ima-sdk-url=\"https:\/\/imasdk.googleapis.com\/js\/sdkloader\/ima3.js\" data-ima-ad-tag-url=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ads?sz=640x480&amp;gdfp_req=1&amp;env=vp&amp;output=vast&amp;unviewed_position_start=1&amp;cmsid=2652439&amp;ad_rule=0&amp;plcmt=1\">  <picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi_webp\/eAKYP9gHJtY\/maxresdefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/eAKYP9gHJtY\/maxresdefault.jpg\"\/><img id=\"yt-img-eAKYP9gHJtY\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/eAKYP9gHJtY\/hqdefault.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/> <\/picture> <button type=\"button\" class=\"youtube-video-player-facade-button\" aria-label=\"Play\"> <svg class=\"icon\"><use xlink:href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/styleguide\/assets\/misc-icons.svg#icon-youtube-play\"\/><\/svg> <\/button>      <\/ps-youtubeplayer> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/sports\/usc\/story\/2024-11-30\/usc-notre-dame-disastrous-fourth-quarter-game-recap\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tape played on loop all week in Notre Dame\u2019s facility, a sobering reminder for the Irish two years later of what USC, under Lincoln Riley, could be when everything &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=132116\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-132116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=132116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132116\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=132116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=132116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=132116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
