The bye week came at an odd time for USC. A lot was made of the matchup against Illinois heading into the game that took place in Champaign.

Instead of showcasing some of the positive elements of improvement within the program, many of the same aspects that have plagued the Trojans as of late in big games showed up again.

There can be two trains of thought in terms of the timing of the bye from when Trojan fans last saw USC step foot on the field.

One perspective is that the pause in the action came at just the right time in order for coach Lincoln Riley to hit the reset button, as it were.

By the same token, however, this team was forced to sit on the latest performance that asked a lot of difficult questions without the chance to show that there is indeed a new era forming in Troy. Not being able to play right away to prove that they can shore up some of the deficiencies that were seen against Illinois can leave a lingering feeling that almost takes the place of anxiousness.

Now, it will have been up to this coach Riley staff to keep everyone sharp this past week while also addressing some of the critical areas of need if they are to get the win against Michigan.
