USC Football: Trojans Dominate 1st Half Vs Nevada Despite Major LB Changes

However, it was revealed by columnist Chris Treviño on Twitter not too long before USC's week one matchup against the Nevada Wolf Pack that Gentry along with another starting LB in Mason Cobb would not be playing.

Therefore, Lincoln Riley, Alex Grinch and the rest of the coaching staff had to look to the rest of their depth chart for some big production off the jump and unfortunately, things took another turn for the worst.

Freshman Tackett Curtis got ejected just minutes into the first quarter and that led to yet another change the coaches had to deal with.

Nonetheless, your Trojans have looked just fine in the first half vs Nevada despite all of these adjustments as they lead 35-7 behind 258 passing yards, 121 rushing yards and 17 first downs.

On the flip side, they have allowed the Wolf Pack just 146 passing yards, 35 rushing yards and six first downs.

It should be another excellent second half coming up very soon!
