Joe Klatt takes direct aim at USC’s defense

After a thunderous start to the season and going all guns blazing in the first half, the Trojans are faltering right at the business end of the season. For USC, they’re coming in their own way with a defense that’s ruining any chances. Klatt highlighted the problem while discussing it with fellow analysts.

Moreover, what surprised Klatt was how the team was unable to utilize the players at their disposal. There are way too many questions that come up while making a move which downs the team’s morale. Klatt described it in the discussion saying, “It’s like hold on, we can’t we can’t do that, on one of the quarterback sneaks or not sneak, draw for a touchdown, they were in an empty formation so all the running backs out of the backfield.”

As far as the mistakes are concerned, it points to an obvious factor, in his words, “And USC literally had only two defenders inside the tackle box. It’s a walk-in. You can’t defend that way in the motion, man doesn’t insert themselves, they’re constantly outside of their gaps and misaligned and missing assignments.”

USC Trojans would need to find solutions at the earliest. They need to catapult their defenses and find a way to better their formations for the upcoming matches.
