Lincoln Riley now has a blueprint on how to build a roster and call an offensive game plan. I draw the comparison between Ohio St.'s win over Oregon in the playoffs, and USC's win over Oklahoma in the National Championship Game. Both USC and the Buckeyes used a strong defense and a balanced offense to embarrass the opponent.

This episode also looks at some transfer portal visitors USC is hosting this weekend to bolster the defensive line.

It's the first Locked On USC episode of 2025, and while I'm looking to make this year better than last year, so is Lincoln Riley. I talk about USC's offensive identity in 2025 and why they need to be a run-first team even with Ja'Kobi Lane and Makai Lemon playing at WR. I have the numbers to support an offensive facelift for the Trojans.

In the second segment, I consider one option for USC's next linebacker coach. The Trojans have a long and rich history at linebacker with too many names to mention. With that said, I have one name that I'd like to see on the coaching staff and I explain why.

Sometimes you have to admit you were wrong and eat some crow. How many of you were wrong with your assessment of Josh Henson and how he developed the USC offensive line room? I explained why the room was in much better shape than when he found it and his development of the young players' performance.

I have some rumors and recruiting notes in the second segment, and since it's New Years Eve/Day, the third segment I have some USC resolutions for 2025.

The 2024 season provided a lot of memories. Some were good, some were not-so-good, and some memories will last forever. This show is dedicated to the memories the offense, defense, and special teams provided. I look at each position group and talk about what worked and what needs to improve before USC kicks off the 2025 season

Here is my instant reaction to USC's thrilling come-from-behind 35-31 win over Texas A&M in the Las Vegas Bowl, aka, The Ugly Sweater Bowl.

The Trojans got big performance's from Ja' Kobi Lane 7 catches for 127 yards and 3 TD's and Makai Lemon who pulled in 6 balls for 99 yards.

With Woody Marks heading to the NFL the Trojans gave the ball to true Freshman Bryan Jackson banged out hard yards 16 carries for 66 yards and a TD

The defense kept the Trojans in the game when Jayden Maiava was throwing interceptions (3) The Trojans defense picked off Marcel Reed 2 times in the first half and held the Aggies to just 7 points when it mattered in the 4th qtr. Jayden Maiava was inconsistent 22/39 4 Td's 3 int's but made some clutch plays at crunch time in the 4th including the game winning TD strike to Kyle Ford.

The last game of the 2024 season is here: USC vs. Texas A&M. The Trojans need to do a few things on offense to be successful, and they should come out on top.

Using the bowl game practice time to help a program develop the younger players for the following season is becoming a thing of the past with the transfer portal and NIL. I explain what's changed with winning programs.

Friday's Rant is all about long lines and overpriced La Vegas food.

The Texas A&M Aggies were the third-best team in Texas in 2024; however, they're still pretty good on both sides of the ball. With two days left before the Trojans and Aggies kickoff, I dive deeper into what each team has to do if they want to win.

Has USC QB play in 2024 forced Lincoln Riley to change his play-calling when it comes to passing routes? That's the show's topic in the second segment.

And in the 3rd segment, I talk about why college football needs to trim their rosters for financial reasons.
