Linebacker is obviously a question spot for USC this season and it appears defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn agrees.
“There’s no one that has started an entire year,” Lynn said. “You have (Eric Gentry), who has been a starter. Outside of that, no one’s started a game. But there’s a lot of talent.”
A lot of responsibility falls on Gentry but he has a history of injuries. Desman Stephens is the other likely starter. There’s also Penn State-transfer Ta’Mere Robinson.
The offensive line, linebacker and cornerback are concern areas in my opinion.

Scooter,
What you described is very minor. The major concern for position are:
Head coach and Athletic Director, SC has neither and are paying over $11 million per year for nothing.

A few days ago Riley call the running back room the most talented position group followed by linebacker. Note that D’Anton Lynn says their inexperienced but talented. Rob Ryan says the same thing. I would rate talent over experience every time.
Ed G’s post makes it more difficult to talk about position groups. I’m afraid to mention tight ends and wide receivers.

Washington and Michigan come to mind. According to Anthon Sports:
A pivotal moment unfolded late in the fourth quarter for the Trojans. With just over five minutes remaining and holding the lead, USC had an opportunity to drain the clock. However, Lincoln Riley opted for two pass plays, both of which fell incomplete, handing the run-dominant Michigan offense another chance to stage a comeback.
“The drive with four and half minutes left … run the ball, take some time off the clock,” Leinart said.

KAM: USC Graduate, Castro loving Democrat Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass — whose mouth is often mistaken for a freeway underpass — screamed to cameras outside the Governor Mimbo “Liberation Day” event Thursday that the presence of federal law enforcement arresting illegal alien attendees was “unacceptable.” Mayor Bass was given a brief lesson in how things work by a U.S. attorney:https://x.com/USAttyEssayli/status/1956085867971535272?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1956085867971535272%7Ctwgr%5E4572df3ae868639160f56b9cf1a1a64bafc95d5f%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpjmedia.com%2Fstephen-kruiser%2F2025%2F08%2F14%2Fthe-morning-briefing-trump-hilariously-manhandles-newsoms-sad-attempt-to-troll-him-n4942715lol

In the process, I will also probably save them from themselves. They don’t deserve it, of course, but I do my job for all Americans, even Traitorous Democrats.
