QB Max Wittek and WR Marqise Lee both suffered knee injuries during practice and sat out the scrimmage. Lane Kiffin announced that both will have further testing before a diagnosis is announced. Lee stood and cheered his teammates throughout the scrimmage, while Wittek rested on the trainer's table with ice on his knee.

USC linebacker Dion Bailey will miss all of spring practice as he recovers from shoulder surgery. Bailey led the Trojans with four interceptions during the 2012 season, and was third on the team with 80 tackles. He also recorded a sack and eight tackles for a loss.

Not to sound gory or insensitive, but the more Trojans go down before the game, the more the Warriors get chance! :wink:

There's a whole lot right with USC's program, and there's a whole lot wrong with ours. I don't think injuries should be cheered ever, and I don't think it matters where USC is concerned--considering their depth and experience. We'll see what of Chow's team rebuilding has taken place. That's what really matters. If you've got a decent plan, it doesn't matter who your starting quarterback is. Dan Robinson would be a perfect example...as would Chang, Rolovich, Brennan, etc...

We need the right tude and leaders to step up to the plate. I remember Chow saying how we needed to find more tough guys.

Agreed. I don't get any jollies when players get hurt. Even Kiffin knew that if you don't have depth then full contact practices can create problems.

JJ knew this, Mac followed suit. Chow had to find out the hard way.

The injuries don't sound serious so I believe Kiffin is taking a very conservative approach and keeping them out so the injuries do not become serious injuries.

The guys that replace the injured players would have been starters for Hawaii in their freshmen years.

Yeah, not to mention, we WANT Wittek to start against UH. He was flat out terrible as a replacement for Barkley, especially in the Sun Bowl. Much rather play against him than their backups.

USC had same problems last year and we know what happened. The improvement needs to come from our end.

If you don't have the same athleticism, with USC, you need a lot of depth in Defense (to keep from being totally worn down) and a quick strike, somewhat gimicky offense to put some points up early. In the past, we've had the offense, but not the depth defensively.

Well then, don't expect much. To be honest, this UH team doesn't have real depth anywhere. Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.
