The USC Trojans appeared poised for a rebound victory over Maryland after a heartbreaking loss to Penn State in Week 7.

Instead, the Mid-Atlantic region has fallen victim to the Trojans for the second year in a row.

USC led 21-7 at halftime but collapsed in the second half and lost to the Terrapins. Maryland had entered the game 0-3 in the Big 10 and had narrowly lost to Northwestern the week before.

Miller Moss was solid statistically, going 34 of 50 for 336 yards with three touchdowns and one interception, but the offense failed to score on its final three drives, allowing Maryland to claw its way back into the game.

Fans took to social media to slam the Trojans and head coach Lincoln Riley, declaring that the team was not ready for the Big 10.

In three of USC's four losses this year, the Trojans gave up the game-winning touchdown in the final minute of regulation.
The fourth defeat? To Penn State in overtime (after the game-winning TD with 2:53 to play in the fourth quarter).

Bahahahahahaha Lincoln Riley stinks

I thought that #USC The team was unlucky.
I was wrong. This USC team is just mentally weak. There is no other way to describe it.

Todd Harmonson @Tharmonson

USC…amazing.
Now we learn that the Trojans are just four games away from being undefeated.

What a nightmare season for USC that started so promisingly

Nathaniel Heller @FiveXT

This USC team is trash

Nicky one @one_nicky

Fire Lincoln Riley

Brad Demattia @Braddemo

Lincoln Riley and USC are not built for the B1G.

Oregonal @simpleysim

I think Lincoln Riley is a great offensive player. But if USC wants to return to the glory days of Pete Carroll, they will have to release him. I'll say it again. He tried to take advantage of the Pac12's “weakness” and win a natty. It was a 2 year plan with Caleb. It didn't work. Simply.

Trojan Shiller @uscshiller

Fire Lincoln Riley.

Lincoln Riley is as cooked as his brisket

Bryan Fisher @BryanDFischer

Lincoln Riley was rushed by Maryland and Minnesota. Welcome to the Big Ten.

With the loss, USC drops to 3-4 and 1-4 in the conference. The team is in danger of falling out of bowl contention and has now lost three games in a row.

The schedule doesn't appear to be getting any easier going forward, as four of the five remaining games come against teams currently over .500, with a matchup against No. 12 Notre Dame looking particularly daunting at the end of the season.

If USC isn't able to turn the page around soon, Riley's tenure could end with the program quickly coming to an end.
