Since 2006, USC has started 8, 6, 7, 5, 6, 6, 3, 5, 4, 6, 6, 5, 6, 3, 4, 4, 6, and 8 white players. In 2024, they project to drop back down to 3 starters.

Head coach Lincoln Riley did not get off to a dream start at USC despite his overhyped Heisman hopeful at QB. Miller Moss stepped in for last year’s bowl game and promptly set school records in passing. Will Riley’s spread offense succeed with a non-upsider under center? Moss won a rather disrespectful “QB battle” with the UNLV Polynesian transfer, so we’ll see. The offensive line has only one confirmable “indo European” starter. Riley’s scheme barely uses tight ends, so returning “starter” Lake McRee is unlikely to feature heavily.

The Trojans played a Big 12 style of non-defense last year, so Riley poached the black defensive coordinator from UCLA. That guy brought former Bruin Kamari Ramsey over with him to take the starting free safety job from Bryson Shaw. Starting true freshman linebacker Tackett Curtis immediately hit the transfer portal (landing at Wisconsin). The pickings were already slim on defense and the new staff doesn’t seem interested in white defenders.

Starters
QB: Miller Moss
OL: Jonah Monheim
TE: Lake McRee

Backups
QB: Dylan Gebbia, Jake Jensen
OL: Kilian O’Connor, Tobias Redmond, Gino Quinones
TE: Carson Tabaracci, Kade Eldridge

DT: Gavin Meyer
FS: Bryson Shaw

Hoping they take a beating in Big Ten.

Though I believe Moss will still put up decent numbers.

Wish Shaw would have hit the portal.

Gavin Meyer why transfer to USC?! WI guy who was lightly recruited out of HS. had a couple good seasons at Wyoming before a questionable transfer?!

Haha wow. Total dbag. USCs struggles are definitely not on Moss. Just a team of soyboys led by a soyboy getting beat down in a much more physical Big Ten.

Yep. Hopefully Moss lands on his feet. Absurd that Moss becomes the scapegoat when Williams did no better at USC.

Holy cow, what a coaching failure. If I was a USC booster, I'd hire one of those aspiring Hollywood "actresses" to screw him on his desk, anything to get them out of that putrid $100 million contract!

Miller Moss officially hit the transfer portal today. Rumors have him looking hard at Michigan.

Good for Miller Moss! More White athletes need to behave this way. Have confidence and self-respect, and don't take unfair treatment lying down. When a coach starts treating you blatantly unfairly, there are always greener pastures. The "aw shucks" attitude has gotten us nowhere.

He'd fit in well at Michigan in a pro style offense. Lincoln Riley's Big 12/Pac 12 offense can't be effective in the Big Ten. Moss was unfairly scapegoated. If he is interested in Michigan I certainly hope they are also interested in him as it is a logical fit. He needs to pick a place where he can go and be guaranteed the starting job.

USC lost a commitment from a 6' four-star black quarterback and secured another commitment from a 6' five-star black quarterback. I wonder if this one will light the world on fire and get Lincoln Riley's stalled coaching reputation back into the upper echelon of names?

It’s becoming increasingly clear that he has gotten worse since his first season with baker and inheriting the ou program bob stoops built. Riley runs a soft program with a quota fetish. Hopefully he gets fired for cause for their latest ncaa violation

A few years back Colin Cowturd was praising Riley as the next Pete Carroll. Bringing USC back to relevance. LOL

Riley's still a cuck. Screwed over Moss for a poly QB and getting the quota pipeline back up and running. If anything it shows that Riley can't coach in the Big Ten (or the PAC 12 for that matter). Anyways Riley is a perfect example of what is wrong with the young modern coach. I hope Moss is able to transfer out next year. Pretty absurd he was viewed as the problem at USC.

It’s weird that the 6’5’ white quarterbacks that was there so much success in the past now all of a sudden can’t play or recruited.
