Notes and takeaways

Ramsey and Fitzgerald are two starters in the defensive backfield. USC played at Illinois without Ramsey and the result was a poor showing overall for the Trojan defense. USC got a taste of playing without both of them in the second half against Iowa last week and it looked much better as the Trojans pitched a second-half shutout. But the Oregon offense and Iowa offense are completely different challenges.

Paige also left the Iowa game due to injury and might be more doubtful than questionable for this one. Without him in the lineup last week, USC shifted Tobias Raymond from left guard to left tackle and brought Kaylon Miller off the bench to play left guard. Miller responded well but Raymond struggled with Iowa’s pass rush off the edge.

Reed is listed as questionable but Kilian O’Connor returned to the starting lineup last week at center.
