USC football’s biggest offseason storyline has focused firmly on the quarterback battle, but the state of the offensive line going into 2018 is arguably the biggest question mark the Trojans face.
After all, put a great quarterback behind a mediocre offensive line and he’s still likely to struggle (ex. Sam Darnold). Put an unseasoned quarterback behind a mediocre offensive line and you’ll have even bigger trouble.
That’s why the 2017 offensive line stats released by Pro Football Focus, as compiled by USCFootball.com’s Chris Trevino, should be of particular interest to Trojan fans.
To put it simply, USC’s offensive line left a lot to be desired last year.
