USC's head coach Lincoln Riley experienced a unique celebration following his team's victory over Louisville in the DirecTV Holiday Bowl, just 2:26 away from the game's conclusion. In a departure from the traditional Gatorade shower, Riley was doused with egg nog, marking what appears to be the first ever occurrence of such an event. The playful act, which took place during the postgame festivities, delayed the subsequent press conference. Riley himself expressed that despite his numerous wins over the years, this victory and the ensuing celebration were particularly enjoyable.
Lincoln Riley: “Honestly, in all the years and all the wins, this was as fun a win as I can remember as a head coach.”
