The USC Trojans are preparing for a big game in Week 1 when they face LSU. The Trojans defense D’Anton Lynn lies firmly in the bright light. What makes the game interesting is the fact that it will be a test of strength, especially for USC’s defensive line, which will have to face one of the oldest, most experienced and most talented offensive lines in college football. Lynn, who built his team, knows exactly how important this fight is.

In a recent interview uploaded to YouTube by InsideTroy, Lynn shared some important points. “The game on both sides of the ball starts at the front,” Lynn emphasized, and that means that the winner will be the one who wins the battle at the line of scrimmage. This has been Lynn’s goal since day one of his tenure as defensive coordinator: to rise to this challenge. All in all, the Trojans will have to do their best to stop LSU.

The latter is actually part of Lynn’s strategy as he prepares for the season.”We prepared not only for LSU, but for the entire season,” Lynn noticed. Despite all the boasting from LSU, where players were quoted as saying they were getting into a fight, Lynn remained professional and made sure his players did not get carried away with such words.

His mantra was that there is a lot of noise out there and you should focus on getting on with the work and getting it done. That focus will be important if USC wants to prove they can compete against one of the best offenses in the country.

Garrett Nussmeier: the “big test” for USC’s season opener

The aim of this game is to measure the extent of the changes they have undergone. “This is a great test for us,” Said Lynn. There isn’t a lot of film of Garrett, at least not as a quarterback for LSU, but Lynn will have to remember that to get the chains moving, this quarterback likes to make plays and make defenders think. USC’s right-hand man focused on his first game and was encouraged by the skills displayed by LSU’s Nussmeier.

Lynn agreed that Garrett Not only is Nussmeier good at passing when he’s in the pocket, but he can also extend plays, making the USC defense’s job more difficult. “He plays with a lot of composure,” Lynn explained: “always trying to keep the game alive.” Nussmeier’s abilities on the field caught the attention of the USC coaching staff, and Lynn noted that Nussmeier and USC’s star quarterback share many similarities. This comparison reinforces the assumption that LSU as a whole team combined with Nussmeier’s offense will be a tough opponent for USC’s defense.

The upcoming game against LSU is not only the start of the regular season, but rather a litmus test for USC. It won’t be easy to fight Nussmeier and LSU’s talented O-line, and USC’s defense will have to do its best to counter the threat and win.
