Trojans Wire talks about Bennie Wylie’s USC improvements, D’Anton Lynn’s defensive scheme, more

The USC Trojans are offering their fans reason to be optimistic as spring practice continues. USC football appears to be making real gains in the weight room and at the meal table, with players adding weight, muscle and size. Going into the Big Ten, USC needs to be rugged, muscular, and nasty. The Trojans are making progress and are getting closer to where they need to be. Bennie Wylie and Lincoln Riley are both pursuing a philosophical change. They are leaving behind their finesse-oriented ways and are making what seem to be necessary adjustments. D’Anton Lynn has to like that.

Lynn has discussed the versatility of his defensive scheme. USC fans have to like what they see in the Trojans’ new defensive coordinator, who tries to create the appearance of complexity but wants the scheme to be simple for his players. That is the exact approach USC has needed. It might finally be here.
