The USC defense was historically bad in 2021, but hopes to make strides this season.
Through spring camp and the preseason, defensive coordinator Alex Grinch has tried to instill a new sense of urgency in the USC defense, tried to better prepare them for the realities of college football.
Last season, the Trojans gave up 408.9 yards per game and 31.8 points. Opponents converted 42.8% of third-down opportunities and scored 34 touchdowns in 47 trips into the red zone. Depth issues were a concern in the spring, but USC has filled the gaps through the transfer portal. And head coach Lincoln Riley believes that the thin spring roster provided a hidden benefit: Players had to work at multiple positions, and wound up giving the defense the type of versatility that Grinch craves.
