USC already feeling the effects of lack of depth?

Post by EncinitasDuck »

According to multiple tweets, the starting 3 linebackers are all sitting out of practice. One in a walking boot, one in a sling and the third with a bum ankle. This on top of losing their best d-lineman likely for the season.

These guys are all young and missing valuable time. Will be interesting to watch their injury situation as the year progresses.

SC health issues @insidetroy: All 3 starting #USC LBs out. Dawson's foot in a boot, Bailey's arm in a sling and Pullard had ankle taped up.

What's going on down there Brave?

Yup, haven't read much about it, but it's probably the same injury (same knee) as last year. Tough luck for the kid. I doubt he'll be able to bounce back from this 100%.

Heard it was the other knee, either way it really sucks for the kid. I believe he was a grey shirt last year though so he can still use a red shirt this year if true.

Yes, he was the greyshirt, and he'll be able to use his redshirt.

Sounds like they might have lost their left tackle in todays game.

It's a blow, but not as big as it seems to somebody who hasn't followed USC this year. Aundrey has been battling freshman Max Tuerk for the starting LT spot all year. Dunno what Aundrey got (looked like a concussion or neck injury). Hope it's not career ending.

Tough break for USC. That game at Arizona next week could end up being a trap game, and O-line depth could matter tremendously if the game turns into a shootout.

Hopefully Walker is OK. Head and neck injuries are always scary, but they're also unpredictable, meaning sometimes the players end up being fine.
Willie Taggart is a dick.
