News about Lincoln Riley

Penn State tight end Tyler Warren scored a touchdown on what announcers described as a 'flag football' trick play in Saturday's wild win over Southern California. The trickery began when the Nittany Lions' backup quarterback Beau Pribula took the field in the third quarter and Penn State at USC's 32-yard line. Starting quarterback Drew Allar lined up at wide receiver, and after a dramatic pre-snap formation shift, Warren ended up hiking the ball to Pribula from the far-left side of the offensive line. Confused, USC's defense failed to pick up Warren as he sprinted down field after the snap. The ball was then passed backwards from Pribula to Allar, who delivered a perfect 34-yard pass to Warren.

Caleb Williams may have gotten $39 million guaranteed with his four-year rookie deal with the Chicago Bears , but the No. 1 NFL Draft pick did not get everything he wanted. As reported by Pro Football Talk , the Bears declined Williams' request to promise never to use the franchise tag on him.

A piece of memorabilia from the life of OJ Simpson has gone up for auction weeks after the NFL legend and accused murderer passed away from a battle with cancer. Simpson's expired drivers license is currently up for sale with Goldin Auctions in an auction that ends on June 6. The license was issued in August of 2007 - about one month before he robbed a Las Vegas sports memorabilia dealer - and expired back in July of 2011. At the time of its expiration, Simpson was in jail for the robbery.

After almost three decades of misery, the future appears brighter than ever for the Chicago Bears following the arrival of Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze. The Bears bolstered their roster with two superstar picks in the first round of this year's NFL Draft on Thursday; selecting highly-coveted quarterback Williams with the first overall and wide-receiving sensation Odunze with the ninth. Since the turn of the millennium, Chicago has only made it through to the postseason six times - crashing out at the first hurdle on four occasions.

OJ Simpson's Bank of America credit card has been auctioned off for more than $10k roughly two weeks after his death. Simpson died of prostate cancer on April 10 at the age of 76, bringing about the end of a life that included a Hall of Fame NFL career but also an infamous murder trial. And on Thursday, Simpson's former bank card was sold for $10,675 at Goldin Auctions.

Not only is the NFL conspicuously silent about OJ Simpson's passing, but his alma mater has similarly resisted calls to address the scandalized running back's death this week. Southern California has a copy of Simpson's Heisman Trophy at the campus' Heritage Hall, and his jersey remains retired by the Trojans in recognition of his two remarkable seasons in the USC backfield. What's more, his No. 32 is prominently displayed at every home football game on the banners that drape the peristyle steps of the venerable Coliseum. But when Simpson's death from prostate cancer at 76 in Las Vegas was announced Thursday, his school made no public acknowledgement of it.

President Biden was branded 'pathetic' by Laken Riley's bemoaning her daughter's name in his State of the Union address. On Friday, Allyson Phillips, the stricken 22-year-old's mother, responded with a Facebook post to condemn Biden for even taking her murdered daughter into his political moment. 'Biden does not even KNOW my child's name - it pathetic!' She wrote an article about her. 'If you are going to say her name (even when forced to do so) at least say the right name!'

Allyson Phillips, the mother of the slain Georgia graduate, said 'Praise God!' In reaction to the bill's passage, ICE will detain illegal immigrants accused of stealing.

According to reports, USC has fired defensive coordinator Alex Grinch. Lincoln Riley, the head coach, had fired his longtime top assistant one day after USC (7-3, 5-2 Pac-12) threw up 572 yards and 52 points to No. 1 last Saturday. In the Trojans' third defeat in four games, they lost 5 Washington. Ross Dellenger, a sports Illustrated reporter, first announced the news.

As Washington defeated No. 3, running back Dillon Johnson put on an exciting show for the fifth-ranked Huskies. To be undefeated on the road, 20 USC 52-42 has been to stay perfect on the season. On the night, Johnson had 26 carries for an amazing 256 yards passing and four touchdowns as the Trojans' defense was gassed. Michael Penix Jr., the Huskies' quarterback and Heisman Trophy frontrunner, had as many yards passing as Johnson (256) and was thrown for two touchdowns and an interception.

Mike Bohn, the school's athletic director, resigned from his position as a coach, after the school said they had investigated the program's 'culture and strategy' when announcing the change. In 2019, Bohn joined Cincinnati - where he had worked in 2019 - and then shook the game up when he added Lincoln Riley to lead the football team and moved the program into the Big Tension, which would have began in 2024. However, four 'current and former USC employees', according to the LA Times, raised questions about Bohn to a law firm that was charged with investigating the department. The Times announced that Beong-Soo Kim, the USC general counsel, told attendees at a meeting this year that the probe wasn't aimed at a particular individual.

Bear Alexander, the former Georgia defensive lineman, has transferred to the United StatesC, blaming Trojans coach Lincoln Riley for his decision to leave the defending national champions. Alexander told ESPN, 'I mean, it's Lincoln Riley.' Although it is unusual for a player to leave the reigning national champions, Alexander is playing for Caleb Williams - Riley's third pupil to win the award, dating back to the coach's time in Oklahoma. In Riley's first year as head coach last season, the Trojans went 11-3, and Alexander seems to believe they can do better.

According to reports, former Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury is set to join Lincoln Riley's staff and work with a quarterback team that includes reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams. Following his time at Texas Tech, Kingsbury accepted the head coaching position at USC, but the Cardinals' head coach resigned several weeks later. Kingsbury will be a Senior Offensive Analyst and film analyst, as well as being present in the quarterback's room.

On Thursday, Clemson fired offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter and hired TCU assistant Garrett Riley to replace him. The Tigers went 11-3 last season, with a 31-14 loss to No.. In the Orange Bowl, Tennessee defeated Tennessee 6 to 6. Streeter, a former Tigers starting quarterback and three-year letterman (1997-99), spent 15 years at Clemson as a player, graduate assistant, or full-time assistant coach. In December 2014, he became the Tigers' recruiting coordinator and quarterbacks coach before moving to the University of Orange, where he then served as the game coordinator and then OC in the 2021 Cheez-It Bowl.

People are already comparing Caleb Williams to NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes even at the college level. This is just before the Heisman Trophy - which is given to the top college football player in the country - is given on Saturday night. On a podcast with ESPN insider Adam Schefter, Williams, the USC quarterback who came from Oklahoma with head coach Lincoln Riley, was compared to quarterback Tom House in Los Angeles.
