Yeah...USC and Ole Miss are huge and will be tough...luckily we have the D and the ground game to hopefully grind those out...

Reminds me of 2010 and the Sims/AJ battle...AJ really didn't lock down the starter position until the Penn State game which I believe was a couple of games in.....

I wanna say that PSU game was week 2. They both played in the opener vs Kent State, then we went on the road, AJ played most of the game and won the job.

Could both play in the opener? Yes, but USC is a talented team. They could be a 7 or 8 win team, but they could just as easily be an 11+ win team. Plus, they have two really good CBs IMO. It's probably not going to be easy throwing on them, but we have so much talent to throw to it helps. Unless we somehow blow their doors off early, I don't think they really share reps, but like others have said one could start and the other could come in based on a number of different factors.

I'm hoping the OL holds up. We've got decent experience and the best talent on the OL since 2012. And this feels like the first time in a long time that we have two legitimate "LT" types at OT. Jonah Williams may very well be the future at LT beyond C-Rob, a far cry from the years of DJ Fluker (who was a bad arse MF, but definitely more of an OG or RT) and Dom Jackson.
