USC Depth Chart Released

Last night, USC released its depth chart for the opener Thursday at Hawaii. Marc Tyler emerged to unseat tailback Allen Bradford, who was the assumed starter. Elsewhere, two freshman made a huge impression on first-year coach Lane Kiffin to earn starting spots. True freshman Robert Woods will start opposite senior Ronald Johnson at split end, while Nickell Robey will start opposite senior Shareece Wright at cornerback. In the other highly contested position battle, Devon Kennard beat out Chris Galippo to start at middle linebacker. Absent from the depth chart is freshman running back Dillon Baxter, who has been suspended for Thursday’s game. It will be interesting to see where he fits in once he is eligible to play.
