The USC depth chart is bolstered by a defensive line with nearly everyone back.
The Trojan defensive line was supposed to be the strength of the USC depth chart on defense in 2019. In some ways it was. In others, there was plenty left to be desired.
The unit as a whole was less than the sum of their parts, especially when you consider the ability of Jay Tufele, the presence of Marlon Tuipulotu and the potential of Brandon Pili.
