Thoughts on why USC is struggling

For the past ten years, USC Trojan fans have patiently waited for the perfect successor to Pete Carroll. Starting with Lane Kiffin in 2009, to Steve Sarkisian and Ed Orgeron between 2013 and 2015, the seat has belonged to Coach Clay Helton for the past two seasons. As one of the most storied and successful college football programs in the history of the NCAA, Trojan fans have become accustomed to high expectations and extraordinary levels of success. However, as a young roster enters Week 4 of this young 2018 season, questions are beginning to rise regarding Helton’s future with the program.
