USC Allowed TCU To Have The Last Word: Does USC Football Have A Culture Problem?

As USC football breaks in the 2026 New Year following another gut punch loss, Marvin Powell III and I talk about USC existing culture and whether it needs to be fixed.

Segment 1.--TCU players did their talking on the field and after the game. I have a couple of off-the-record quotes from a couple TCU players while I was at the airport, and it begs the question; Does USC football still have the right type of culture?

Segment 2.--Is it time for USC's AD, Jen Cohen to call Lincoln Riley into her office?

Segment 3.--Lincoln Riley said USC is the Mecca of college football and most recently after the loss to TCU, he said, "It's a privilege, not a right to work and play at USC. After another disappointing season, has anything changed?
