I’m honestly shocked Neal/Chase/Jeffrey haven’t talked about this.
Obviously this season. The second season being USC 2012. USC ended up going 7-6 (5-4, in pac 12)
Kiffin would be fired the next season on the tarmac.
That USC team was insanely stacked.
QB: Matt Barkley
3700 yards 36 tds
Barkley would’ve been the #1 pick if he entered the 2012 draft, but he returned ended up dislocating his shoulder and being picked in the 4th round (he didn’t dislocate his shoulder until the season was basically over)
WR Marquis Lee
1700 yards, 14 tds 39th pick in 2014
WR Robert woods
900 yards 11 TDs 41st pick in 2013 (did have 1200 yards and 15 tds the year before
WR Nelson Alghor (freshmen)
391 yards 2 TDs 20th pick 2015
C Khaled Holmes 121st pick
CB tj mcdonald 71st overall pick
DT Leonard Williams (freshmen)
8 sacks 14 TFL 6th pick 2015
In total: 6 players on that started on this team were drafted. they had 19 players that would eventually make an NFL roster.
Ultimately, does this 2024 season, and that 2012 usc season have anything in common? Obviously very small sample season, but being 0-2 with championship level teams, isn’t good
