And an interesting note that may affect future drafts.Sanchez joined Palmer and his former USC backup, New England Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel, and Palmer's brother Jordan, the starter at Texas El Paso, and several pro receivers and defensive backs.
With a surplus of talented linebackers, the Trojans continue to experiment with a 3-4 defense. USC is at least two deep at every position with Dallas Sartz and Brian Cushing on the strong side, Oscar Lua and Rey Maualuga in the middle and Keith Rivers and Kaluka Maiava on the weak side. Thomas Williams also is back after starting eight games last season.
