We visit Mark Rogers at The Voice of College Football for our weekly USC show. Throughout the year, we keep coming back to Mark to talk about the state of USC football in one way or another. It’s a great way to more fully discuss the topics we often address in the short-length pieces we post here at Trojans Wire.
On our most recent live show, a viewer posed an excellent question: Did Lincoln Riley’s run-based play selection at the USC spring game indicate a shift in philosophy? That’s a question worth answering, and you can find this segment at the 15:55 mark of the show below with Mark.
The short answer: It’s less about a philosophical change. It’s much more about being prepared for specific game situations and making sure the running game is ready to perform at a top level this fall.
The passing game, with Caleb Williams, didn’t need work. The running game did.
You can also watch more USC shows at The Voice of College Football. Trojan Conquest Live, with Tim Prangley and Rick Anaya, airs every Sunday at 8 p.m. Eastern and 5 p.m. Pacific.
