The USC Trojans travel to Folsom Field to face the Colorado Buffaloes (1-3) following a brutal loss to the Oregon State Beavers 45-27. Interim head coach Donte Williams will look for his squad to improve on both sides of the ball come Saturday.
Three Defensive Players To Watch: USC Trojans
Defensive End - Korey Foreman
The nation’s top recruit has only seen 44 snaps in four games with the Trojans this season. Foreman has been dealing with several persistent injuries but improving daily health-wise. Donte Williams and Todd Orlando both expect Foreman to play a bigger role this season as he continues to recover from his minor injuries.
Linebacker - Drake Jackson
The Trojans defensive star touted this season as his 'money year', however, he was a virtual no-show against Oregon State, finishing with one single tackle. Look for him to be more involved at Colorado.
Offensive Lineman Turned Defensive Lineman - Maximus Gibbs
The freshman offensive lineman has been taking snaps at nose tackle during practice this week, helping bolster USC's defensive front. Sitting at nearly 400 pounds, Gibbs has the physicality to give the Trojans some strength and power up front.
Three Defensive Players To Watch: Colorado Buffaloes
Linebacker - Nate Landman
Landman has put up 37 tackles and one forced fumble despite rupturing his achilles tendon last year. The senior All-American candidate is one to watch for the Buffaloes wicked defense.
Safety - Chris Miller
Miller is one the veteran members of the Buffaloes defensive unit. This season he has accumulated 4 total tackles, and played a big role in holding Northern Colorado State to seven points during CU's season opener.
Defensive Lineman - Jalen Sami
Tied for the team lead with 1.5 sacks, Sami will have the chance to feast on USC's struggling offensive line. The Colorado native may be young, but don't underestimate his talent.
