Since 2006, USC has started 8, 6, 7, 5, 6, 6, 3, 5, 4, 6, 6, 5, 6, 3, 4, 4, and 6 white players. In 2023, they project to start 8.

Lincoln Riley and his traveling black quarterback show need little introduction. Riley finished his first season in Los Angeles with an 11-3 record, a success despite losing the conference championship and bowl game. There will be eight new starting transfer players this season, which is actually less than last year's total makeover. There should also be eight white starters, a very respectable tally for a celebrity coach with a black quarterback fetish. However, all fanfare will be centered around potential #1 pick Caleb Williams, which will make the Trojans hard to cheer for.

This will be USC's final season playing "PAC-12" opponents before joining the "Big Ten." With the majority of their conference following suit, they aren't really the "villains" they might be seen as otherwise.

The defense has a white starter on all three levels. Purdue transfer Jack Sullivan should supplant last year's sumo starter at DT. Safety Bryson Shaw, in his second year with the team after transferring from Ohio State, was fifth on the team in tackles last season. Weakside LB Tackett Curtis will be a rare true freshman starter for the Trojans and is definitely on an NFL trajectory.

The behind-the-scenes plot to follow will be in the QB room. The true freshman 5-star black quarterback has already supplanted last year's (white) #3. Miller Moss is currently the backup behind Williams. Will he remain in line to take the reins next year?

Starters:
OT: Jonah Monheim, Michael Tarquin
OG: Jarrett Kingston
C: Justin Dedich
TE: Lake McRee

DT: Jack Sullivan
WLB: Tackett Curtis
S: Bryson Shaw

Backups:
QB: Miller Moss
OL: Gino Quinones, Mason Murphy, Killian O'Connor, Andrew Milik
TE: Jude Wolfe, Carson Tabaracci

A lot better than I expected.. Minus Williams.

PS Commiefornia does not belong in Big Ten. In fact Coast to Coast Big Ten is retarded, but $$ makes the world go round.

Miller Moss should get out now. Riley is a huge quota cuck. He already has a 2026 quota lined up. Huge f@g.

Rooting for Shaw and Sullivan to have standout seasons to hopefully get some NFL traction.

Pretty good for a USC team. Despite being pretty caste they usually have white defenders although I don’t think they have any up and coming underclassmen or recruits aside from Tackett Curtis.

As LF noted they already signed a quota in the class of 26

2026 is a long time from now. Tom Iron rule is always hovering over these types.

Moss needs to transfer.

Sounds like the hyped up 2023 quota in waiting is jumping ship. Miller Moss will start the bowl game and should be the presumptive starter for 2024. Moss was a 4 star QB himself in 2021.

Riley not bringing in a black quarterback transfer?!

Unexpected development as (white) Kansas State QB Will Howard seems to have pledged his transfer.

Miller Moss is listed as a redshirt sophomore, which I believe means he does not have a free Covid year (although who knows). The bowl game will be a big audition for him - he could jump to a smaller school to start games next year, then grad-transfer back into the power conferences. He could also just stay put at the backup, but what's stopping USC from finding another transfer again in 2025? Moss would be in the same boat - looking for playing time - with one less year of eligibility.

It's ironic that the upshot of players skipping bowl games, which was getting reps for your younger players in preparation for the coming season, is out the window with the free transfer system (which is of course buoyed by NIL mercenary money).
