Talanoa Hufanga, who is USC’s best safety, broke his collarbone in Saturday’s practice and will be out eight weeks.
Hufanga also broke his collarbone last season. He should be back for fall camp.
Cornerbacks Greg Johnson and Isaac Taylor-Stuart were also out for Tuesday’s practice.
No matter how many yellow jerseys that dude wore, that gamble did not pay off. Jesus.

“Out 8 weeks.”
Bones are not fully healed in 8 weeks. Didn’t they learn when they rushed Gustin back 2 years ago, and he re-fractured his toe?

Not sure. Hope they let it heal correctly so that he’s 100% come fall. I like his play.

Pudley, I have no idea what they were thinking in bringing back Gustin so soon.

Neither do I. Doctors released him after putting in screws and said he was good!!! Never heard of it before but then I’m not a doctor. Crazy

Here’s Harrell talking after practice

Thanks, Pudly! Good stuff. [If you listen carefully, Harrell would like the defense to blitz more than 7 times a practice so that the offense could play at the speed he wants to see them play].

Yup. He wants to run the “hot” reads more often with all the QBs. But speed, speed, speed was the topic of the day.

Pudly —I’ll say it right now —USC is going to surprise people in the first few games. Everybody’s playing faster, the right guys have lost weight (Markese and J. T.) and Harrell actually has a “plan” for the offense (beat people with speed and athleticism, wear ’em out and then run the ball down their throats). My only reservations about this team and our prospects grow outta how thin we are at so many positions. We have to sat healthy…..

Health has been a big issue the last two yrs…remember the wazzu game year before last? Tow got sick just before the flight, a receiver and lb run into each other during warmups, two more offensive linemen get hurt during the game, Carr gets hurt late in the game and Gustin was already out. Then last season for ASU we had 22 who were hurt or limited including Cam Smith, Porter and Tell. Yeah health is even more critical this season.

Two broken Collarbones in two years isn’t good for his morale. Hope the kid recovers quickly, but his physical intensity has to suffer. He doesn’t want a 3rd broken collarbone.

Just Owns,
I am totally shocked that you showed that you do have a shred of decency in you. Wow, where did that come from? That was very nice of you.

Maybe the kid should forget football and take up crocheting.
