The Trojans have a lot of question marks heading into this upcoming season, but one aspect of the Trojans that no one is questioning is their talent. The Trojans annually haul in a top 5 recruiting class. Even though they're only returning 12 starters (6 on offense, 6 on defense), there's no doubt that they have young studs just itching to step into starting roles that have been groomed by some of the best coaches. USC also has a new coaching staff since Lane Kiffin bolted from Knoxville to take over at USC. We've seen Kiffin work wonders at USC with Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush, but we don't know how long it will take sophomore Matt Barkley to learn the offense and most importantly be comfortable in the offense. The Trojans are loaded with talent but it is still reasonable to expect them to lose a couple of games due to inexperience. That being said, I don't think anyone would be shocked if this team ended up playing in a BCS Bowl Game.
USC could be very good. nice article
