USC Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley is not having the Big Ten debut he expected. Last week, they secured a 42-20 victory over Rutgers following disappointing losses to Minnesota, Penn State, and Maryland.

Lincoln Riley and his team took on the Washington Huskies in Week 10. However, they failed to establish a winning streak and succumbed to a 26-21 loss at the hands of the Huskies. This puts the USC Trojans in a tough spot, as they are now 4-5 (2-5 Big Ten conference) and have just three games remaining to at least be bowl-eligible.

Following this Week 10 loss, fans took to social media to troll and create memes about Lincoln Riley and his disappointing Big Ten debut with the Trojans. Here are the top 10 memes about the USC head coach that have taken the internet by storm.

Was Caleb Williams one of Riley's fiercest weapons?

Quite a drastic comparison there.

Is Riley in the hot seat following the loss to Washington?

USC's offense continues to remain bamboozled on the field.

The USC head coach did not always struggle with his team. Prior to joining the Trojans, Riley had a successful five-season stint with the Oklahoma Sooners between 2017 and 2021. He led them to four Big 12 conference titles and put up a 55-10 record.

So far three seasons with USC, Riley has a 23-12 record. The offense once again struggled to find the end zone as Washington's defense kept them on their toes. QB Miller Moss threw three interceptions while recording 293 passing yards and two TD passes. Unfortunately, he failed to deliver when it mattered the most for his team.


Lincoln Riley denies the need for change in his roster

In the post-game press conference, the USC head coach was questioned about where the roster needed some reshuffling for the last three games of the regular season. Riley replied by stating that he does not have a habit of losing as it has not been a frequent thing during his coaching career.

He then went on to deny that the team needs changes since every game so far has been a close contest till the final whistle.

"I don't handle losing very well. It hasn't happened very much in my career. That part of it is unacceptable," Riley said.
"It's not like we're getting our a** kicked. It's not like I go back to the drawing board like gah, we're doing this terrible, and people are wearing us out this or that. It's not that."

The Trojans are next scheduled to take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers. It will be interesting to see if Lincoln Riley can lead his team to bowl eligibility in their debut Big Ten campaign.
