THINGS ARE CHANGING QUICKLY: USC Is No Longer The Hunter...They're The Hunted!

The USC Trojans enter conference play as a team to watch—are they officially contenders for the Big Ten title? With a decisive matchup against Rutgers looming and Oregon on the horizon, Marc Kulkin unpacks USC’s dominant start, exploring whether their recent blowout wins prove they’ve become the hunted rather than the hunters.Key topics include the Trojans’ impressive Pro Football Focus grades, the surging run game led by King Miller and Waymond Jordan, and defensive strides highlighted by Luke Wafle and Elbert Hill. Marc also examines Lincoln Riley’s strategic adjustments, injury updates on players like Trent Mosley, and the psychological edge USC seeks heading into their toughest stretch yet. Listener questions ignite debate on roster depth, team culture, and the pivotal role of new staff like Gary Patterson. Can the Trojans sustain their momentum and send a message to Oregon and the nation?#USC #USCFootball #APPoll #PennStateFootball #USCTrojans #oregonfootball, #JaydenMaiava #LincolnRiley #collegefootball #BigTenfootball #kingmiller #sec #ohiostatefootball Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!KALSHIFor a limited time, Download Kalshi and use code Locked On to get $25 when you trade $25. Kalshi.
