Like the fact they just lost two 1st round draft picks and both were juniors or that some of their top recruits from the last few classes haven't panned out (Baxter and Butler come immediately to mind).   It takes a lot of luck with injuries and good breaks for even the best teams to get through 3 months of college football unscathed. The Trojans, whose starting 22 is certainly equal to anyone's in the country, will be doing it with a lot less depth than any of these other teams.   There’s nothing worse than playing undermanned and injured with a lot of hype and a big fat target on your back.
