The upcoming USC-LSU game promises to be a fascinating matchup for several reasons, with both teams facing similar challenges on the football field. LSU and USC have struggled with poor defenses in recent years and have since overhauled their defensive coaching staffs. Additionally, they both had Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks in the past two seasons, and both coaches have moved from one top-tier program to another. Both teams underperformed last season and failed to secure conference championships this decade while also facing challenges with depth on their defensive lines and uncertainties at the quarterback position for the 2024 season.
A recent discussion between Mark Rogers, Matt Zemek, and a special guest, Matt Moscona of ESPN Baton Rouge and YouTube channel “After Further Review,” explored these numerous parallels between LSU and USC in 2024. The conversation highlighted the similarities and shared experiences that the two programs are facing as they navigate the challenges of the upcoming season. The depth of analysis shed light on just how closely linked the two teams are as they face similar obstacles.
