Terrell Anderson

I had the same question a lot of you had coming in.

Could Jaden Maiava and a shorthanded offense actually move the ball against the stingiest defense this team has seen all year? No Corey Sims, no Terrell Anderson, no Killian O'Connor up front, and he's a captain.

I told myself Maiava had been carrying this offense for two months, so maybe he could carry it one more night in Madison.

Tonight, the answer was yes in stretches and no every single time it mattered.

My team, starting from the offense, is running back King Miller.

Wide receivers are Terrell Anderson to Nook Hines.

Tight end is Mark Bowman.

My flex is Caden Dixon-Wyatt.

We have some bad picks on both sides.

So I feel like it could be pretty even, but honestly, I don't really know.

Also, I have a season-ending injury to Terrell Anderson, so I get to fill in that spot.

So we'll have to handle that moving forward.

And the reason I was hesitant to do that was what you gave up at the skill positions.

And I know some folks are saying, well, Hollywood Smothers would have left anyways and wanted to leave or Terrell Anderson would have left and wanted to leave.

That's fine.

I can go out and get guys comparable to them that would want to be here, though.

I actually coached against Alex Taylor when he was in high school.

Um, he went to the same high school as Terrell Anderson and, uh, Faizon Brandon.

I actually really liked Alex Taylor.

Had, had a ton of respect for him.

Oh, Tanuk Hines is starting to get a feel.

Yeah, it stinks that, you know, they, um, lost Terrell Anderson for the year.

But Caden Dixon Wyatt, yep, he looks really good too.

A couple of freshmen in there.

They were down another wide receiver.

Terrell Anderson is out for the year.

He's having season-ending surgery.

They haven't announced the injury, but I believe it's a sports hernia.

And we got a bunch of injuries in this game.

Terrell Anderson, the transfer from USC, done for the year.

So never amounted to anything there in Los Angeles.

And Trent Mosley and Mark Bowman, both stud freshmen.

First off injuries.

What are we expecting? We know Kobe Howard's out.

Terrell Anderson's done for the year for USC.

Brutal blow there.

But I think that, number one, what's good for one side of the ball is good for the other.

USC coming into this game with, say, Terrell Anderson, Trent Mosley, and Mark Bowman, is a different USC coming to that game without one, two, or all three of those guys and how that plays out.

And it is interesting because reading a little bit about Penn State, they said that Danton Lynn kind of owned it.

He said because it was a Friday game last week, they dialed all the hitting way, way back last week.

So I don't know exactly when he'll be available to them to actually do that.

So that's one of the things I always look at when they're traveling is who travels with the team.

Now they expanded the travel rosters a little bit, so it makes it a little bit – little bit less important there but like when they went to rutgers the fact that elijah newby was traveling with them and though he was not going to play there was no chance of him playing that game but he's traveling but someone like jakeem stewart wasn't and jakeem stewart is somebody who's obviously a figure that's always in the middle of their huddles and stuff like that that so I thought that was really interesting so just seeing who does and who doesn't travel Rideau I would anticipate being on the travel roster and I will see if he actually does anything uh in this game and if they even need him to do anything in this game but they would like to get another returner back by with a couple numbers values less on his Jersey number four instead number six Trent Mosley whose list is questionable hearing that's a real possibility this week that he could be available so that would be a huge addition for USC now I think Zacharias Williams has done a nice job filling in for him in the in the middle but uh the fact that Tripp Mosley now whether or not they would use him as a punt returner I think he probably would still leave Terrell Anderson though he's also questionable so not sure uh what they would do there if both those guys were out but um I think that they would probably keep Mosley just a receiver, but just adding him back to the offense, his ability to get open so consistently, I think is something that they missed when he wasn't there for that records game in particular.

Just felt like the coverage was a lot tighter than it was before Trent Mosley was injured.
