I would replace Jaylin Smith with Max Williams. I like Tahj over Mario but I can live with this. Loving that front four on Defense. Lynch at RB over Jones. Domani over Ceyair. Playoff squad.
Wright is as grabby as Iman Marshall and gets beat like a drum inn the few games and scrimmages I saw. Not a Max Williams fan either...another guy that gets beat..come fall camp I see things heating up for several of these so called starters....
not a big wright fan. just don't see him starting.
Grabby is one of my better nicks.
Watched Marshal grab walk-ons during spring ball and saw what you saw with wright.
Williams is to fawking small. Sorry if physics bothers people, but the dude is just too small to play college football. Watch the bowl game. Dude is 5 7. looks like a little kid out there. he starts and SC's defense is in trouble.
Don't really like how it's going to look like a completely different team each and every year with only a couple guys from the prior season . Grew up with Cey. Russel, Lopes, Garvey. Loved watching kids I hoped SC got in high school, earn playing time as a freshmen, impressed as sophs, become stars as juniors and all americans as seniors. Then cheering for them in the NFL.
UCLA had a QB that COULD NOT accurately throw a pass longer than 15 yards for the past 9 years or however long that guy was there. Sure, he had a few bombs in his highlight reel, but 75% of his passing yards where YAC. Not to mention he was dumb as a rock and had no idea how to manage a game from his position. The guy coming in can make all the throws, which will open up the Offense even more and keep the D from focusing on the run game as they have been doing with mixed results. UCLA put up great rushing numbers even with the D being able to play in tight, I think Moore will surprise a lot of people. The question is the defense. If they can make an improvement to just "middle of the road" average 9-3 should be doable, even for Rain Man Chip.
That is a really good group no doubt. By my count 10 of those players are transfers.

The truth? 9-3
USC is probably going to be in a base nickel d. Which LB goes and who's the nickel back?
