Offensive Line

Against a very good pass rush of USC, the offensive line held their own.

Trace McSorley was credited with only being sacked once, but there were a handful of times that the USC pressure forced throws. Can’t complain too much about the stats though. 465 yards of total offense and the line was far from a problem.

This line has improved so much this year and with only one senior leaving, should continue to get better in the 2017 season.

Grade: B
