USC takeaways: Drake London’s injury leaves the Trojans feeling lost even in victory

New York Times  

LOS ANGELES — Kyle Ford knows what the football-appropriate thing to say would be. “We like to say that doesn’t affect us, but I know for sure it did,” said Ford, who caught two passes for 20 yards on Saturday. Trojans interim coach Donte Wiliams, who is generally ambiguous about injuries, said after the game London “will be out right now,” that it’s an ankle injury and there’s fear it’s a season-ending injury. When Dart entered the game, USC’s student section started loudly chanting, “Let’s go Dart.” “I was so jacked to be playing again,” Dart said. When we can run the ball like that and have almost 200 rushing yards on the night, that’s a game-changer for us.” USC’s run game has been a pleasant surprise this season.
