  LOS ANGELES — The youngsters had given USC coach Lincoln Riley and his staff some reason to trust them, and so it was that they trusted them on Saturday, a host of freshmen and sophomores getting key snaps in massive situations against fourth-ranked Penn State.
  They hadn’t done it enough the week before, against Minnesota, Riley remarked after the loss to Penn State. And so USC tossed defensive lineman Jide Abasiri into the fire, and fellow true freshman linebacker Desman Stephens II

  LOS ANGELES — A year ago, Anthony Lucas was better in practice than he was in actual football games.
  A year later, during USC’s fall camp, a confidence steadily built that these Trojans wouldn’t only see the best version of him on Howard Jones Field.
  “It feels a bit different,” head coach Lincoln Riley said a month ago, of Lucas. “More mature. More steady.”
  Through six games in 2024, USC has gotten the version of Lucas the coaches first envisioned when t

Here is what Newsom’s latest political stunt is about, how it will harm California, why he is unqualified to be Governor, and will never be President of the United States.
