USC apparently suffered multiple injuries in training camp that are just coming to light. The depth chart was already missing several key players: WR Terrell Anderson, DE Braylan Shelby and OT Elijah Vaikona.

Sir Lincoln of Riley certainly thinks so. USC is paying San Jose State $1.4 million to play in Saturday’s game. So that is what it cost to replace the Notre Dame game.
