USC Trojans Update Depth Chart Before Facing the Washington Huskies

Southern California has adjusted its defensive lineup ahead of the upcoming matchup against Washington. Linebacker Desman Stephens II will miss the contest due to a one-game suspension stemming from a targeting infraction and subsequent celebration during the recent loss to Oregon.

In his absence, head coach Lincoln Riley and defensive coordinator Gary Patterson are turning to veteran Ta'Mere Robinson to take over the starting role. Robinson earned the nod over freshman Talanoa Ili, who previously saw action after Stephens was ejected.

Robinson enters the weekend with 29 total tackles this season as the team looks to shore up its defense.
