Athlon: The USC Trojans have heavy expectations in 2021. After a perfect regular season and an appearance in the Pac-12 title game, USC head coach Clay Helton is basically in a do-or-die year. Anything short of a tremendous regular season and a Pac-12 championship is likely to see his ouster at the end of the year.
Helton does have plenty of positives entering the new season. He’s fresh off a spectacular recruiting class that had the nation’s No. 1 recruit not only sign with USC for the first time since 2009, but they also managed to keep it a secret from the world as he signed early but didn’t announce until January.
