The score may only be 14-3, but it was a pretty brutal first half for the USC Trojans, and most notably, the offensive line.
The Trojans finished the first half with -16 rushing yards, and QB Miller Moss was under constant pressure. The Michigan defense finished with two sacks, but plenty more pressures and hits on Moss.
Starting left tackle, Elijah Paige, specifically struggled. He missed several blocks and was beaten off the edge repeatedly.
Well, to start the 2nd half, Lincoln Riley has made a change.
USC Trojans Bench Elijah Paige
Paige has been benched, we will see if he makes another appearance in the game later on.
Starting right tackle, Mason Murphy, moved over to left tackle, and Tobias Raymond has taken over starting duties at right tackle.
This will be a developing story, but to start the 2nd half, USC has marched down the field and Moss has had considerably more time in the pocket. Woody Marks has also been able to get some breathing room in the run game.
