In my humble opinion, cardinal and gold thoughts on what I see, what I hear, and what I think from Los Angeles: The race: USC has some big rewards to play for in 2023, and the hopes are this potentially final season of Trojans’ All-America quarterback Caleb Williams highlights itself with a trip to the CPF playoffs semifinals and perhaps beyond. That being said, there will be a 2024 season to follow, and it will be in the Big Ten Conference, which announced on Thursday that the Trojans of 2024 will be hosting Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa in the Coliseum (anybody selling tickets?) - not to mention Penn State on the road, which could result with a famous Nittany Lions “White Out” game in Happy Valley. <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The race – Part 2: </strong>Presently before our very Southern California eyes, there’s a recruiting arms race going on for the Trojans in order to be prepared for their future Big Ten counterparts. Using this critical calendar window of opportunity, Lincoln Riley and his staff are literally scouring the nation stocking their recruiting shelves with the best possible talent that best fits what they will find in the Big Ten.
