re: USC: Who do you lose for next year? What can we expect for the first game?

Early departure:

WR Bruce Ellington (NFL)
DT Kelcy Quarles (NFL)
DE Jadaveon Clowney (NFL)
CB Victor Hampton (NFL)
CB Ahmad Christian (transfer - was not full fledged starter)

Senior starters:

QB Connor Shaw
CB Jimmy Legree
OG Ronald Patrick
DE Chaz Sutton

We will have a new offensive identity and be really thin in the secondary. DL is a mystery, but there's talent there.
