Linebackers MIA
Dallas Sartz and Oscar Lua have not practiced this week with a sore knee and bone bruise, respectively. Lua's MRI also showed a cracked tibia that was suspected to be an old injury. And if that's not enough, Kaluka Maiava underwent an MRI on his sore shoulder that's bothered him for most of the season.
All three expect to be available for the Arizona State game.
What?? some players are hurt? THAT NEVER HAPPENS TO USC They must be the unluckiest team in the history of college football
Guess its a really good thing we're so stacked at that position then. Same with WR, RB, DE, OL, etc. - it shows the depth we are so lucky to have over many other teams. (And I know its not 'luck' - its hard recruiting work by our coaches.) Example: the Hogs, who are a different team than when we played them, due to the QB and RB situation. They didn't have the depth to play us tight, but now they look good with the starters back.
But as long as they keep on winning, it helps our perceived strength of schedule - so its all good....
