USC vs. Rice: Snap counts, grades from PFF for Trojans in Week 1
Well, we’re still waiting for answer at left tackle for the Trojans.
USC entered into Saturday’s season-opener against Rice with some questions around the two-deep, not the least of which was what the offensive staff would do at left tackle. Bobby Haskins and Courtland Ford battled for the job during camp, and the staff went into Saturday’s game saying both would play.
Ford saw 24 snaps, according to the folks at Pro Football Focus. Haskins saw 24. On it goes.
Throughout the season, we’ll keep track of snap counts and game grades for everyone from the folks at Pro Football Focus. You’ll find them below.
