USC Trojans Will Be Without Two Critical Defenders Against Nebraska

The Big Ten just released its official availability report, and the USC Trojans‘ list of injured players has seemingly grown since the bye week.

As I reported yesterday on the USC LAFB Show, DL Floyd Boucard will be OUT for this contest as he continues to recover from a leg injury. Big Jamaal Jarrett will also be out for this one.

Left Tackle Elijah Paige is still listed as QUESTIONABLE, so it will be interesting to see how warmups go. Left guard Micah Banuelos is a surprise addition to the injury report and is listed as questionable.

If Banuelos and Paige are unable to go, we will likely see Kaylon Miller or Hayden Tretter step in at left guard. Or could we see another new variation? Here are some options:

• LT Justin Tauanuu
• LG Hayden Tretter
• C J’Onre Reed
• RG Alani Noa
• RT Tobias Raymond
