The USC Trojans have moved down once again in the US LBM Coaches Poll despite defeating the Colorado Buffaloes on the road. The defense is a massive concern, although Lincoln Riley stated after the game he still has faith in Alex Grinch. We will see if the head coach’s confidence in his defensive coordinator is warranted, but that’s another discussion for another day. We can say this much: If USC doesn’t want to drop any more in the polls, it should play better defense.
