About O'Dowd

By Scott Wolf on August 30, 2007 10:28 PM | | Comments (2) |

Kris O'Dowd will be the first true freshman to ever start at center for USC on Saturday, let alone the first true freshman to start a season opener. The only two post-War era offensive linemen to start as true freshmen were Travis Claridge (1996) and Brad Budde (1976).

I'd say the other two worked out pretty well for SC. I'm sure O'Dowd will perform well against Idaho.
