USC football doesn’t have the kind of wide receiver depth you’d expect to see from an Air Raid offense. That’s all the more reason to utilize the running backs and tight ends.

Considering the strength of USC football’s wide receiver corps, it’s somewhat jarring to think about the knife’s edge the Trojans are currently sitting on.

They have very good receivers. They don’t have a lot of them.

Let’s put this in perspective: If USC wants to list four separate receiver positions on their depth chart for 2020, scholarship players could only fill a two-deep.
