Lincoln Riley challenges young USC offensive line to improve consistency

Lincoln Riley knows how central his offensive line is to a successful 2024 USC season.

USC football news is flowing from August camp. Coach Lincoln Riley recently discussed consistency in play from members of the right side of the USC offensive line.

Riley explained after practice:

“The young guys are talented, inconsistent. It’ll be kind of this second half of camp of who can really take that jump from a consistency standpoint they all have talent to be able to potentially contribute but they are going to have to show more consistency to be able to trust them um yeah I mean there’s still definitely some position battles going on on the o line you know as that as that plays out we’ve had a couple of guys banged up through camp nothing serious but we we have we it’s kind of there’s always positives and negatives there hasn’t been as much continuity there’s a few guys that we wanted to see a little bit more but we have had to move a lot of guys around which has been a positive because you build like what what’s going to happen in the season at some point and you build that experience so for the ones that have been healthy it’s been a great thing but excited to get those guys back and try to get some clarity on that as we you know get a little bit closer to the first game.”

The battle for the right guard position will be one to watch as fall camp winds down.
