USC Football: Matt Leinart Identifies "First And Most Important Thing" Lincoln Riley Must Fix Next Year

Leinart has a huge point about the Trojans needing to fix their lines, especially as they are entering the Big Ten conference next year. The conference contains teams like Michigan, Penn State, and Ohio State, all of which are fantastically well-rounded teams. 

Caleb Williams saw the brunt of the damage in terms of poor offensive line play, as he was constantly under pressure and on the run. Though he has the ability to escape and turn a would-be sack into a monster play, the offensive line holding it down could have resulted in back-to-back Heisman wins for the young quarterback. 

The same can be said for the defensive line not pressing any opposing quarterback enough, allowing for chunk yardage. Take the USC and Cal game. Though the Trojans came away with the win, they could have dominated the game had the lines done their job. 

USC is in for some huge coaching changes, and that could start from Lincoln Riley, all the way down to position coaches having to find new employment. Big changes are coming, and it starts with the lines getting a much-needed boost.
