The USC offensive line will see a lot of new faces, with Zach Banner, Chad Wheeler, and Damien Mama now protecting quarterbacks in the NFL. While the Trojans have a ton of big lineman to step up and start, through fall camp none of the new options have stood out in practice. The receiver position is another spot with a lot of question marks, thanks to the departure of go to receiver and Darnold security blanket Juju Smith-Schuster and talented wide receiver Darreus Rogers to the NFL. While the USC tight ends are maybe the most talented they’ve ever had, led by Daniel Imatorbhebhe, a couple of outside threats must step up for him to get any space to work in the middle of the field.
The Trojans also have serious question marks at the kicking position, which is the one spot that can lose a team games in the blink of an eye. Both kicking prospects have struggled in camp, with Mike Brown making 2 of 6 in the last scrimmage, and Chase McGrath going 1 of 3. All three makes were around 40-45 yards out, and going 3 for 9 could pose a problem and really test Clay Helton’s decision-making ability.
Defensively, the Trojans are stacked in the front seven. They have 3 linebackers on the preseason Butkus Award Watch List in Cameron Smith, Porter Gustin, and Uchenna Nwosu. The issue isn’t how good those three are, but the lack of depth behind them. Injuries occur every year, and USC can’t afford one in the linebacker position because of the lack of viable replacements there. -
It's actually amazing with all the 5 stars they load up with every year that there aren't viable replacements anywhere. I guess development does matter.
