I don't mean to pretend like I know more about USC football but it does appear that Jeff Byars is/was a senior. So USC has 4 returning starters on the offensive line as far as I can see from this years depth chart.
Regaurdless USC's running game should be POWERFUL. We'd be completely STUPID to not either play the standard 4-3 with a saftey playing in the box or to play a nickle formation with Hines up near the line of scrimmage at all times. We need to have more hats than they do at the point of attack. We stop them and i'm confident in our dline to put pressure on USC and pressure the VERY VERY green QB into some mistakes.
On a side not the first game of the year for
OSU I bet is gonna leave a lot of us buck funs worried about the year. Navy is a tricky tricky team for a first game IMO.
By the way I just checked the Depth chart from this year and I guess although we do lose a defensive lineman. He didn't start most of the time so I guess we apparently have all 4 starters back
