I'm sure others have seen media stories about the return of Trojans to the top of the PAC 12, Sam Darnold being a front runner for the H word etc. All of that may come true in 2017, but one part of the puzzle hasn't been put together yet - Trojan O line. They lost three starters to the NFL draft - both tackles and a guard. Apparently there is a lot of talent on the USC roster to replace the departed players, but things haven't been going that smoothly this spring, and coaches are pulling their hair out. But hey, some players will return from injury at some point...Where have we heard this before?!?

Here is a recent story on how things are going so far in spring practice.
