Jaxson Dart is "day-to-day" with injury, and other notes from Donte Williams

I saw huge gaps on the D-line too, so big you could drive a truck through them.

I think TO was almost playing a wide-9 alignment with the DE's to prevent DeLaura from running outside the tackles and force everything up the middle.

Dart needs to work with the baseball team to learn to slide.

No Jaxson Dart at #USC football practice today, but Kedon Slovis was a full participant. Miller Moss stepped into Dart’s role getting reps in practice behind Slovis.

Thought I saw his knee hit a helmet…

Saw the same thing. Knee pads are futile as their pants are above their knees and doesn’t cover their knee caps.

Saw the same thing. Knee pads are futile as their pants are above their knees and doesn’t cover their knee caps.

Why do the coaches allow that? They should at least put on a sleeve or something.

Is Ricky Henderson around to teach Dart how to slide?

I hope not. Rickey slid head-first a lot of the time.

"We traveled with 74 and 62 played."

What more could you ask to keep players engaged? Sure, we were in blowout mode the 4th quarter, but this is a good thing. The more players that play, obviously reduces wear and tear on starters, but also keeps players engaged and feel like they are making a difference in the game.

Actually, he hurt the knee when it slammed the ground straight down on his flip. No helmet or otherwise hit on the knee.

you don’t want anything on your knees, gets in the way when you’re running. I used to always wear one size smaller so the knee pad was out of the way
