USC football evaluators analyze roster performance following San Jose State win

Following a 42-26 victory over San Jose State, USC coaching staff and analysts are reviewing individual player performances ahead of the matchup with Fresno State. Quarterback Jayden Maiava, running back King Miller, and wide receivers Trent Mosley and Corey Simms earned positive evaluations for their offensive contributions. Defensive tackle Jide Abasiri led the defensive unit with 2.5 tackles for a loss. However, the secondary faced scrutiny after allowing 234 passing yards and two touchdowns to Luke Weaver. Coaches also noted inconsistencies in run fits among linebackers and limited impact from defensive ends such as Kam Crawford. The team continues preparations for the upcoming game, aiming to address defensive gaps that could hinder performance against future opponents like Oregon and Ohio State.
