USC Trojans Head Coach Lincoln Riley Pulls No Punches With His Statement Regarding Utah

The sign-stealing conundrum keeps on getting intensified. As Michigan’s camp reels with the sign-stealing accusations, there’s another team that is now facing the brunt of sign-stealing accusations. Recently, the USC’s HC came all out with his explosive comments. He found the culprits as Utah for the new sign-thieving bust!

NCAA this year is surely having a field day. They’re playing the detective’s role as they are busy with their investigation for finding the Wolverines sign stealers. Now, their task is doubled as they have another team to look forth for the strong claims. The otherwise cool and level-headed Lincoln Riley was not mincing his words as he made his angst felt all over! With the Michigan sign-stealing saga getting all the attention, the plot thickens yet again amidst a great season for USC.

Lincoln Riley calls out Utah for their shoddy antics

Sign stealing under no circumstances is part of the footballing game. Already the NCAA’s image is tarnished with Michigan’s sign stealing and the controversy surrounding the issues. Now, as the new development comes to the surface. It might be one of the worst phases of the NCAA competition. As per Riley, Utah never plays fairly. He said, “An opponent we’ve played against multiple times, an opponent that we know that does a good job trying to grab signals.” Lincoln further concluded his strong statement by saying, “That kind of stuff has been going on forever”.

Some might argue that Lincoln is just adding spice to the sign-stealing controversy. There’s another group of individuals who believe that why’s the HC bringing these things to light now. Having already competed against Utah on numerous occasions, why does the HC feel the urge to throw punches? First Jim Harbaugh found himself in hot water and now the Utah management, the controversy keeps on building.

Jim Harbaugh comes clean following the unsportsmanlike accusations

For the Michigan Football Program and their management, the world has turned upside down! Earlier during the week, Harbaugh gave his testimony for the strong claims. His words set an NCAA investigation in motion. Now, the HC comes clean as there’s no evidence found for the coach being involved in the scouting scheme.

The ongoing investigation though is still going over their evidence. Data is plenty and there are still loads of drives that need to be searched. But for Harbaugh, he must be having a sigh of relief. His name was the first one to come in as the plotter of sign-stealing practices. NCAA investigators are leaving no stone unturned, taking one-on-one interviews with players and coaches. It’s a black day for the NCAA, however, as the college league is marred with unethical practices.
