Defensive lineman Christian Rector broke his hand in practice and will be out several weeks, Clay Helton said. That means he is probably out for the regular season and maybe longer.
UPDATED: Jordan Iosefa will start in place of Rector. The bigger question is who USC wants to start at cornerback? Ykili Ross or Isaiah Langley?
Sweet! Stack ‘em up!
Put it in a cast, pad it, and suit up.
You first
Put your head in a bag, tighten the loop, and shut up.
Settle down whippersnapper, no ones putting their head in a bag. Tool time is on Monday mornings….thanks
Hah, I think Chip Banks preferred playing with a broken hand, didn’t he?
Just another excuse for Helton to lose. These Trojans are unlucky. Too bad.
Hey, it’s early, but is Stanford/OSU another Pac12 eats the Pac12 again?
Pac 12 is pretty bad this year. If STAN goes down to interim-coached ORE ST, just another hit on our woeful conference. Right now, STAN is our only good win!
Amazing how things just continue to go south for USC. But I think STAN will come back. Shaw will right their ship. They need to put Costello back in.
Not looking easy for them Trees…
scheduling mid week conference road games for your top teams is possibly the dumbest decision a conference can make. as far as i know, the acc is the only other power 5 conference that does it and i’m not sure they schedule those games for their top teams (clemson, fsu, etc)
Saban would never allow a mid week game. The guy carries a heavy stick
Well said about Costello. Looks kinda like Shaw is going the Helton way by playing people that have been there the longest.
Shocking. This makes the conference look even weaker.
Not happening.
Ross or Langley? Hmm which one is faster and is consistent? They both need to step up- I don’t care which as long as they do the job.
Neither can be worse than Grabby, can they?
Play him on the boundary side
Don’t get me wrong I like rector but Joseph should habe started last week usc needs more speed off the edge.
Why doesn’t Helton Just play him anyway? That worked out so well with Gustin…
Here’s how a responsible Journalist reported on Rector’s injury. Leading the PAC 12 in sacks, what was that about not enough speed off the edge? Who starts as CB is “the bigger question”, really?
” USC linebacker Christian Rector suffered a broken hand in practice Wednesday and will be out multiple weeks, head coach Clay Helton said Thursday.
The injury will require surgery for the redshirt sophomore.
Rector has 6.5 sacks which leads the Pac-12 Conference. He also has 31 tackles this season.
