Lincoln Riley just wrapped up his second year as the USC football coach with a victory in the Holiday Bowl over Louisville, and he made a promise that the program will reach new heights with him at the helm in the near future.

“There's been a lot of bright moments over the first two years, but we understand that this is just the beginning of some great opportunities,” Lincoln Riley said before he was doused in egg nog by his team, via Bryan Fischer of Fox Sports. “This is forever one of the greats as a program, and we are motivated as we possibly can to continue to fight to get it back there. … We will get that done.”

Riley got a great performance out of quarterback Miller Moss, who might be a great solution at the quarterback position for USC football with Caleb Williams departing for the NFL. It will be interesting to see if Miller Moss can claim the starting quarterback position this offseason, as Riley tries to bring the USC football program back to glory.

The expectation was for Riley to resurrect one of the top programs in the country, and while that did not happen in the first two years of his tenure since leaving Oklahoma, he still has his eyes set on that goal.

The win over Louisville in the Holiday Bowl is a great moment, but the program and its fans hope to celebrate some wins in bigger games in the near future, especially with the College Football Playoff expanding.
