No. 16 USC falls 24-7 at Wisconsin

No. 16 USC lost 24-7 on the road to Wisconsin, falling to 6-2 overall and 3-2 in Big Ten play after a performance featuring two turnovers, six penalties and minus-17 rushing yards; the Trojans were held scoreless in the second half. Coach Lincoln Riley said the team and coaching staff were not good enough and took responsibility for the defeat. The loss renewed calls from fans for Riley to be fired, while former USC star Keyshawn Johnson urged university leaders and boosters to make difficult decisions. A coaching change could carry a reported buyout of about $70 million, and USC has little time to regroup before hosting No. 3 Ohio State.
