Up 49-30 and 3-0, yet the room is already drafting Riley's exit timeline over a defense nobody trusts.
The emotional rollercoaster
USC fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
USC beat Louisiana 49-30 and moved to 3-0, which somehow left the fanbase grumpier than it was a week ago, misery climbing from 34 to 46. The turning point wasn't a play; it was the realization that a Sun Belt team hung 30 on a defense Gary Patterson was hired to fix, prompting dark jokes that "Gary Patterson is gonna slaughter so many younglings." One fan already has Riley's exit mapped out: fix it soon, or this is "his last or second to last year here." Undefeated, unconvinced.
