Northwestern isn’t a USC competitor right now, but it will be in one year when the Trojans join the Big Ten. NU is more of a concern for USC fans than it ever was in the past (except for the 1996 Rose Bowl).
On the latest College 12-Pack podcast, Patrick Conn and Tyler Nettuno talk about the mess at Northwestern. There’s a lot to unpack about the situation. The College 12-Pack is the place to get a fuller national look at this complicated drama.
Earlier in the week, we wrote about the departure of football coach Pat Fitzgerald from Northwestern:
“USC versus Northwestern was not likely to be a top-tier showcase in the Trojans’ first season of Big Ten football, but Pat Fitzgerald has established a reputation as a quality defensive coach. Riley versus Fitzgerald — when USC had the ball — was shaping up as a fascinating contrast of styles and an intriguing 2024 chess match. However, after Northwestern fired Fitzgerald on Monday following investigations into allegiations of hazing and other significant problems within the NU program, Riley doesn’t know who will be coaching the Wildcats in 2024.”
