Social media reacts to USC's 27-13 road loss to Indiana

On Saturday, the USC football team fell 27-13 at Indiana. With the defeat, the Trojans dropped to 7-3 on the season and 4-3 in Big Ten play.

Naturally, social media had a lot to say about the game, with much of it being criticism of USC head coach Lincoln Riley and quarterback Jayden Maiava. Here are some of the highlights:

Year five

Five years in and not a single major accomplishment in the Lincoln Riley Era

And he will be the head coach next season as well

Not good enough

Bottom line for USC under Lincoln Riley is it’s good enough to be competitive in these games but nowhere near disciplined- and a lot of the time, not physical enough - to actually win them. https://t.co/NEF7c0pbCe

Adios

Another loss to a backup QB. Lincoln’s gotta go. It’s over. Cooked. Done. To use his words, “adios”.
