Now they don't have either guy.

We all know how having an elite pass rusher is essential to winning football.  After losing Perry and Kennard, I have to question if the University of South Central is going to have the pass rush it needs to be as good as it will need to be on defense.  Stanford has no such issues with Chase Thomas and Trent Murphy, though it remains to be seen what Stanford has behind those two.

Yeah, if there's an obvious hole with Southern Cal, it's that they really have zero experienced, good defensive linemen. A large component of our difficulty with the Trojans the past two years has been their defensive line going crazy, so any losses to their line will benefit us disproportionately.

As to our pass rush--can't forget Ben Gardner. There's the health of Shayne Skov to consider. Going three or four deep is pretty good for pass rushers, and if Kevin Anderson lives up to the spring session hype, we'll have another... And lost in the offensive linemen incoming freshmen hype are the interesting possibilities of Aziz Shittu and Noor Davis. We finished eleventh overall in the country in sacks last year, and only really lost Matt Masifilo. With some of the factors listed above, improvement in the pass rush seems like a tantalizing possibility.
