USC dominates Colorado, but Travis Dye is expected to miss remainder of season
But as USC’s senior leader lay on the grass during the second quarter, cradling his left leg, the Coliseum lay silent. The Trojans’ sideline emptied as he was loaded onto an injury cart, players surrounding their fallen teammate in solidarity.The coach didn’t offer specifics about the diagnosis. But he did confirm the worst: Dye won’t be returning this season.
And now, with its most critical stretch ahead, USC will have to forge on without the engine of its offense and the soul of its locker room. Its first test? Matching the top rushing offense in the Pac-12.“Now we get a chance to reset,” Riley said, “and play those guys across town.” If it has any hope of outlasting UCLA and Notre Dame, after that — Caleb Williams will almost certainly have to put the full weight of USC’s offense on his shoulders. He was inconsistent in carrying it Friday, barely completing 50% of his passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns.It’ll be up to Austin Jones, too, to fill the void in USC’s backfield. He finished with 113 all-purpose yards and a touchdown after stepping in for Dye. Both will have to be at their best against a stingy UCLA defense.
The pick was just Williams’ second of the season — and only the second turnover for the Trojans this season. Still, it ended up yielding more points than any other USC drive in the opening quarter. On the next play, with pressure bearing down, Colorado quarterback J.T. Shrout threw away a pass from the end zone while still in the pocket. Intentional grounding was called, and two points were put up, courtesy of USC’s defense.
