USC offensive staff prepares for Oregon linebacker Dylan Williams

Oregon linebacker Dylan Williams demonstrated significant improvement during the team's recent victory against Boise State. Head coach Dan Lanning praised Williams for his movement and impact on the field alongside teammates Jerry Mixon and Devon Jackson. While the team secured a win, the coaching staff noted areas for improvement, specifically regarding punt returner Evan Stewart. Stewart recorded eight catches for 72 yards as a receiver but struggled with ball security on special teams, including two muffed punts and a fair catch at the 3-yard line. Oregon has a two-week window to adjust its roster and performance before facing USC. The upcoming matchup between the two programs is viewed as a pivotal event for the remainder of the Trojans' season. USC remains focused on how to counter the emerging defensive presence of Williams as they prepare for the meeting.
