If the Spartans have one area they could attack, it is the Trojans’ offensive line. Last season, USC gave up 30 sacks which was fourth worst in the Pac-12 and 73rd nationally.
Defensive tackle Soane Toia and Smith headline this year’s front seven and will look to make up for the production of former all-conference defensive tackles Junior Fehoko and Cade Hall.
Toia was part of a six-man line rotation last season while Smith, a highly touted defensive lineman out of Red Mountain High School in Arizona, is looking to step into a bigger role on the front seven this season. USC’s offense will get much of the national attention on Saturday, but the Spartans could have one of the better offenses in the Mountain West. Quarterback Chevan Cordeiro is coming off a 2022 season in which he threw for a career-high 3,251 yards and a career-high 23 touchdowns.
Cordeiro lost all-conference receiver Elijah Cooks to the NFL, but the Spartans are hoping to see production from receivers Nick Nash and Charles Ross.
