The Trojans aren’t materially different from last year in personnel and coaching, but their performance is worse. And we have the explanation.
Fans and talking heads alike are wondering whether defensive coordinator Alex Grinch is about to get fired, quarterback Caleb Williams is ready to shut it down for the season and coach Lincoln Riley is seeking salvation in the NFL.The issue isn’t with performance. The 24th-ranked Trojans are exactly who we thought they would be: Dynamic on offense, wobbly on defense and at the whim of the breaks and bounces.
— Last season, USC’s offense averaged 7.2 yards-per-play. This season, the Trojans are humming along at 7.5 yards-per-play. This year, USC’s turnover margin is a pedestrian +0.22, merely 54th in the nation and fifth in the Pac-12.The takeaway situation has also changed dramatically: USC has generated just 13 turnovers, less than half the total of last year.
