Despite finishing just 1 game over .500 in 2024 USC has all of the momentum this offseason and it's leaving an impression that the Trojans are ahead of schedule. So with hindsight being 20/20, and If everyone truly believes USC was close in 2024, then there’s no reason not to believe this year's team can't compete for a B1G 10 Conference Championship and perhaps more in 2025.
