did a quick rack-up of the Trojans defense
From their tackles leaderboard they lose 8 of their top 11 tacklers including their top 4.
Gone:
79 LB Rey-Rey
73 LB Brian Cushing
66 LB Kaluka Maiava
57 LB Clay Matthews
38 DB Cary Harris
43 DB Kevin Ellison
30 DL Kyle Moore
30 DL Fili Moala
Returning:
53 DB Taylor Mays
39 DB Josh Pinkard
38 DB Will Harris
I know they will be good; they have talent to fill in. I would not be surprised at a severe dropoff, however.
