El entrenador Riley rechaza críticas por baja asistencia al inicio de temporada

El entrenador principal de USC, Lincoln Riley, afirmó que la narrativa de que los Trojans tuvieron poca asistencia en el partido inaugural de la temporada era falsa, señalando que la asistencia ha aumentado cada año de su mandato a pesar del modesto público. Los Trojans vencieron a San José State 35-3 en su debut en casa en el Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, pero el estadio quedó escasamente poblado, según informó Fox News. El New York Post atribuyó la baja asistencia al calor récord y a un rival débil.

Posteriormente, la universidad declaró que comprendía los factores detrás de la escasa concurrencia y esperaba multitudes mayores en los próximos partidos, según USA Today y NBC Sports. El comentarista deportivo Paul Finebaum cuestionó si el comunicado de prensa de la universidad sobre la asistencia había sido generado por inteligencia artificial, informó Awful Announcing.
