Southern California moved one win away from a likely College Football Playoff berth with a defeat of Notre Dame led by Caleb Williams.
After the game, Riley sounded no less impressed with what he saw from his team as the crowd of 72,613, the largest for a USC home game this season.
Did he really believe all of this was possible now, considering USC likely will earn a berth to the College Football Playoff if the Trojans defeat Utah - the one team that beat them in the regular season - in the Pac-12 championship game Friday in Las Vegas? Let's not forget that group was largely assembled through the transfer portal after Riley inherited a team that finished 4-8 last season. In all, he brought in 26 transfers, and on Saturday 12 of them were starting for the Trojans.
USC’s offense, well, it has been every bit as impressive as what Riley built at Oklahoma. And USC’s defense, well, just as suspect as what held back Riley’s teams in Oklahoma. Williams, a serious contender for the Heisman Trophy, looked sheepish when asked about striking the Heisman pose after two of his rushing touchdowns.
