About O'Dowd
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).

Didn't Winston Justice start as a freshman?

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