USC – Minnesota before the game

* The injury report has been released and includes some notable names.

* Both teams will be without their best tacklers and standout linebackers in this game. USC linebacker Eric Gentry will not play after suffering an injury relatively late in the game against Wisconsin. Minnesota’s leading tackler Outsider Baranovsky will miss this game too.

* Trojans captains are quarterbacks Miller Mossdefender Gavin MeyerLinebackers Mason Cobb and suitors Eddie Czaplicki.

* True freshman defensive tackle Jide Abasiri made the trip to his home state of Minnesota. He’s one to keep an eye on for the rest of the season as he continues to get more comfortable in defense. He shined at times this spring and in limited appearances against Utah State earlier this year. Trojan coaches said he could earn more snaps on defense as the season progresses.

* USC wide receiver Makai Lemon is on the field early as the special teams returns get going. It would be very important to get him back after he took a scary hit against Michigan and missed last week’s game against Wisconsin. He’s a capable returner, but he also gives the Trojans another threat against a Minnesota team that comes into the game with the best pass defense in the country.

* Alani Noah takes early warmup snaps as starter at right guard. Amos Talalele Last week he started at right guard, but Noa ended up taking most of the snaps. Lincoln Riley spoke about the position this week and said they weren’t sure how they would handle the position in the future, whether they would opt for a full-time player or continue to rotate there.
