Lincoln Riley pulls the trigger, will start Jayden Maiava against Nebraska

Peristyle Podcast - USC Trojan Football Discussion

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about the breaking news that USC head coach Lincoln Riley has made a move a quarterback, naming UNLV transfer Jayden Maiava the starter heading into the Nebraska game. On Monday night Connor broke the news that Miller Moss was being replaced by Maiava and on Tuesday several other reporters confirmed his report. Then after practice on Tuesday Riley made it official, saying that starting Maiava was the best thing for the team.

The guys talk about this major move heading into the bye week, why they think Riley pulled the trigger and how this can impact the team for the final three regular season games including the two rivalry matchups.

They also take a look back at the Washington loss that now puts USC in a tough position sitting at 4-5. After the LSU win the goal shifted to making the College Football Playoff. Now after losing four of the last five games just becoming bowl eligible is in serious doubt.
