USC’s defense looks depleted today as cornerback Greg Johnson (seperated shoulder) is out vs. Arizona and linebacker Palaie Gaoteote looks out with his foot in a boot today.
Cornerback Olaijah Griffin has a bulging disc in his back and is officially questionable. Cornerback Isaac Taylor-Stuart (ankle) is questionable and wore a boot on his tool
If Geoteote cannot play, he will be replaced by Kana’i Mauga or Ralen Goforth.
Questionable? How could a fellow recover from a bulging disc to play football in 4 days?
Scottie, it is really time to get a grammar and spell checker when you write “Isaac Taylor-Stuart has a boot on his tool”.

Taylor-Stuart is wearing the boot on his tool only Mon-Fri. He’s ready to go on Saturdays.

As long as the offense is healthy all we need on defense is 11 warm bodies……

Gaoteote doesn’t have a lower leg injury. He’s out because some ND player violated his booty-hole at the bottom of a pile (I’m serious). Typical ND…

It is what happens when you play a 4 – 2 – 5 and you’re undersized ( weight wise) secondary is making all the tackles. OG and ITS are good cover corners, but shouldn’t be making so many tackles.

Absolutely right. Domers ran the ball 45 times, and I doubt that 10 tackles were made by the D line.

67- if I could ask Clancy who is supposed to make all the tackles, I wonder what his response would be: John Houston? Gaotoate ? Hufanga? Jay and Marlon both had subpar games against ND and Rector looks like a shadow of himself. People have questioned Stepp’s lack of participation on offense, what about Echols and McClain spotting Rector some on Defense?

Arturo, I am guessing that Rector has come back to early from injury? He definitely played with a lot of heart, but he seems to be lacking the quickness he had previously as well as conditioning.

1st half of the season
D is mostly healthy.
2nd half of the season in the ‘air raid’
ALL D liabilities exposed. D on the field more than 50% of the time & liabilities get more exposed each game.
I’m watching a rerun of what happened at CAL under Coach Sonny Ykes. 99% chance the SC defense will be decimated by the end of the regular season & it will be really hard to recruit good defensive players( & D coaches).

It’s never a good thing if you have to wear a boot on your tool.
