Perception of USC program slated to see earth-shattering change in college football

The way that USC has not been able to reach the expectations of a blue blood program in recent memory is an aspect that frustrates Trojan fans. This proved to be particularly true in the program's first season in the Big Ten.

Now, though, with a certain amount of needed accountability beginning to take place, USC looks to improve and resemble a program once again that is among the best in the nation and that has the highest standards in the sport.

The adage of college football being better when a certain team is doing well applies and is most true when discussing USC.

Despite the past seasons not quite being where they needed to be, the Trojans are beginning to show just how powerful the USC brand and logo can be. Success and putting together a winning program mean more in Los Angeles compared to other areas in the country. With the Trojans slated to once again be a great program, coach Lincoln Riley winning in Troy is going to have a noticeable and significant impact on college football that will be impossible for fans of any fan base to ignore.

Shifting current perception of USC program

Others have enjoyed their time and poked fun at USC during the down years. Already, glimpses can be seen of how worried the rest of the college football nation will be once things come full circle. Intelligent fans, especially after seeing how the NCAA handled the Michigan sign-cheating scandal, know how unfair and damaging the sanctions were against the Trojans.

Now, with enough time passed and coach Riley having learned from some of his latest mistakes and miscalculations, USC is going to be able to change people's minds by force, and the Trojans will have to be acknowledged as a current top national program.
