USC stood up to LSU on a purely physical level. The Trojans and Lincoln Riley know they have to prove their manhood again versus Michigan. Riley spoke about the physical challenge of playing Michigan and going up against the Big Ten’s best, as Wolverines Wire shared:
I have a lot of confidence. But it’s also a really big challenge. I mean, I feel great about our opportunity to go handle it well, but it’ll take all we got to go handle it well. I mean, there’s no question about it. I mean, this, both this team, and certainly throughout the rest of the league, there’s a lot of really good teams in this league, a lot of really good teams on our schedule, a lot of teams that are really strong on the fronts, on both sides of the ball. So you know, we’re going to get challenged there week after week, and we’ve got to be ready to rise up the challenge and make sure that that they’re getting a big, a big damn challenge when they play us, right? And that’s what it’s all about.
So, yeah, you’re just gonna have to be ready every single week.
