2015 Pac-12 season grades: USC Trojans

The 2015 season is officially over for the Pac-12. We kick off our season review by handing out some team-by-team grades.

USC TROJANS

Offense: It’s possible to point out individuals who had impressive seasons -- WR JuJu Smith-Schuster and RB Ronald Jones II, for starters -- but, as a whole, USC underwhelmed offensively for most of the season and regressed in the season’s final third. In conference play, the Trojans ranked sixth in points (31.9 ppg), eighth in total offense (405.8) and ninth in yards per play (5.66). That’s just not good enough -- especially considering they had a fifth-year senior at quarterback in Cody Kessler and some of the top skill and offensive line talent in the Pac-12.
