Episode Synopsis

USC football, once a Los Angeles sports powerhouse, now finds itself in a precarious position, described as stuck – good enough to avoid embarrassment, but not strong enough to contend for a national championship. Despite a recent victory over UCLA, the Trojans remain an afterthought in a market dominated by the Dodgers and Lakers. Head coach Lincoln Rileys contract, which the university cannot afford to buy out, is a major factor in the teams stagnation. With a top-rated recruiting class but key losses and a history of underachievement, USC faces the challenge of regaining its former prominence in the competitive world of college football.The Daily News Now! - Every city.
