Micah's 5 takeaways from USC's commanding week 2 victory
The USC Trojans offensive has been one of the most impressive units in university football for a week. Defense of Trojans certainly needs some improvements, but Trojan horses are 2-0 before the conference game. Here are my five dishes to remember from another dominant USC football victory:
Waymond Jordan is the real business
Waymond Jordan exploded against Georgia Southern on Saturday, rushing for 167 yards and two affected on 16 races. Jordan has set up a stellar average of 10.4 yards per race. Its explosiveness was fully exposed overnight; The Eagles of Clay Helton had no answer to him. It was Jordan’s first ground on the floor of 100 yards, with many others to come. Waymond Jordan really looked like Ashton Jeanty 2.0 on Saturday. The USC hopes that it will continue and that it has a season at Jeanty.
Jayden Maiava Heisman Talk will continue to grow
Maiava had a performance above its prevailing beginnings in the first half in the week 1. Lincoln Riley did an excellent job with Maiava, helping him refine his game as a smuggler. For week 2, Maiava launched 412 yards and 4 affected on a completion rate of 66%. It is the key to the offense of Trojan horses being unstoppable; So far, it has been unstoppable. With the figures he sets up, he will be finalist Heisman if the USC wins 10 or more games.
Trojan horses have the best wr duo in the country
Ja’kobi Lane and Makai Lemon had dominant days against Georgia Southern. Lane made 3 catches for 91 yards and a potential candidate for the capture of the year on his touch with one hand. Makai Lemon had an explosive day accumulating 4 catches for 158 yards and 2 affected. Until now, Lemon is 6th in university football by receiving yards with 248. Whatever the quality of a defense that Trojan horses play, these two weapons will open and play games. These two can help Trojan horses beat very good teams this year.
Trojan horses have the best offense in Big Ten
Many offenses had difficulties in Big Ten in the first two games at some point. This was not the case for the Trojan horses of the USC. They had 755 yards in total and collected 59 points on Saturday. Jayden Maiava continues to play very effective, leading this explosive offense as Lincoln Riley has planned. The racing game for Trojan horses finally struck its stride. Trojan horses will be able to surpass most of the teams they play this year. The frightening realization is that the offensive of Trojan horses is not yet a finished product.
Defense of Trojan horses could be a problem
Trojan horses won big, but the defense was far from impressive. Trojan horses have abandoned too many big games and points against an intermediate level opponent. The defense of the race looked very getable, and the secondary of the Trojans had problems several times in this game limiting big games. If this match was against a great Big Ten team, the score would be very different. The defensive line of the Trojans is going after the quarter-Arrière, but while the Trojans head for the conference, the seconds and the secondary must intensify.
