The only position that ever suffers injury on the USC OL is Centers, who are akin to Spinal Tap drummers.
Wheeler and Banner never missed a start once they were starters at OT, and neither did Mama, IIRC. But yes, the point is taken, they have talent. They had the most experienced OL in the Pac-12 last season and it showed. UCLA and Stanford not so much, and it showed. So hope springs eternal that USC will struggle on the OL, and Darnold won't be quite the player he was with so much talented experience protecting him!
