When USC vs. Stanford kicks off in Palo Alto, the Trojans shouldn’t be missing any offensive linemen, but the men in the trenches have been dealing with their share of injuries.
On Thursday, USC held back three linemen, center Toa Lobendahn and both tackles Chuma Edoga and Austin Jackson.
Lobendahn is coming off a pectoral injury which kept him out of the season opener. He was able to practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, so they gave him extra time to get fully healthy, head coach Clay Helton said.
Edoga has been dealing with a hip problem since Fall Camp and saw his work cut back as well.
