The last two years of USC football has been a roller coaster, never knowing what will happen, like whether the offense will be unstoppable or rush for negative five yards. But one thing has been consistent: injuries. A year after the offensive line was injured all season, things have not improved this year. Playing without three of their four team captains, all on defense, USC gave up 38 points to Arizona State. Also down two quarterbacks, Jack Sears and the offense could not get anything going until the end of the second quarter and needed a bit of trickery.
