Trojans’ defense hasn’t lived up to expectations, but in light of its dismal 2021 and strides made this past month, there are high hopes for the Cotton Bowl
ARLINGTON, Texas — The struggles of the USC defense this season came under a microscope in the aftermath of. The Utes were able to move the ball at will, not just due to play design but because the Trojans failed to tackle, time and again.
The 2022 USC defense had its struggles, of course, but there were also games like Oregon State and Notre Dame where it was the defense that won the day by forcing turnovers and creating tackles behind the line of scrimmage. It played a big part in USC winning 11 games in Lincoln Riley’s first season.
Grinch, for his part, has expressed understanding for the frustration. He wants to match the championship-level expectations that come with coaching at a program like USC. Allowing 415.1 yards and 27.9 points per game does not meet those expectations. What coach and player do agree on, though, is how beneficial bowl practices have been for the defense.
