High school signing day on February 2 is still over six weeks away as well as the USC Trojans are doing really properly with 16 committed recruits plus six early enrollees who have already signed, with much more expected soon. The two junior college and 4 senior high school early enrollees will be available for spring practice and don't count against the 20-scholarship limit* for 2011.
USC is rated close to the top in football recruiting and is likely to finish in the top five again having a significantly bigger class (as much as 30 new scholarship athletes) than past years. But, USC needs offensive linemen (OL) more than any other position as well as the numbers up to now have been disappointing. So far, you will find only 3 offensive linemen who've committed: David Garness (signed) and commits Marcus Martin and Cody Temple.The Trojans consist of an excellent quarterback, receivers and running backs. Nonetheless, these skill players cannot execute when they don't get the blocking to open holes or give the QB time to come across open receivers.
If the offense cannot preserve drives and employ up the clock, then it puts too much pressure on the defense, this spends an excessive amount of time on the field. This normally creates a defensive breakdown within the other half. The defense is going to be far better in 2011, as discussed in "USC Football: 2011 Trojans Is going to be Led by QB Matt Barkley and Better Defense." But, no USC team has ever performed well without a good OL which includes backups. So something must change for a effective 2011 season.
Right after practice on Oct. 21, Lane Kiffin asserted on account of personnel in 2011 season, the Trojans might use a spread offense. Kiffin told Gary Klein from the L.A. Occasions. Look at what we have. We've got a bunch of great receivers and backs and tight ends and we don't have a fullback on our roster that's on scholarship two months from now.
