USC Trojans coach Lincoln Riley was named the Big Ten coach of the week after defeating the Nebraska Cornhuskers 28-20 on Nov. 16. Riley's decision to start quarterback Jayden Maiava over Miller Moss seemingly worked as the Trojans beat the Cornhuskers.

Maiava, in his first start at USC, threw a pick-six to Nebraska corner and former Trojan Ceyair Wright. Maiava did some good things on Saturday. There are some plays he’ll want back, too, like the interception and a third-quarter fumble.

While the Jayden Maiava angle is a positive one, and while USC is now closer to getting a bowl bid -- which means December practices essential to improving the roster for 2025, a very important thing -- we can't ignore the deeper problem surrounding the Trojans: They are not a well-coached football team.

The USC Trojans took down the Nebraska Cornhuskers 28-20 on Saturday afternoon. Was this win good enough to get USC back in the top ten of the Big Ten Power Rankings over the UCLA Bruins or Wisconsin Badgers?
