After the Trojans surrendered a handful of big plays through their first three games, Grinch says “from a consistency standpoint, the lowlights cannot be that low.”
LOS ANGELES — They broke into a traditional Tuesday drill, a member of USC’s secondary charging across the practice turf at a ball carrier, waiting until the very last second for a coach to shout for them to make a move and try to shake the defender in open space.
So he watched junior cornerback Ceyair Wright, touted as one of USC’s most improved players from fall camp, whiff on a tackle. Then he missed another, grabbing at air off a poor angle as a ball carrier darted past him. And Grinch shook his head, visibly unsatisfied, as an assistant coach barked at Wright for walking – not jogging – back to his post.
“From a consistency standpoint, the lowlights cannot be that low,” Grinch said Tuesday. “We have to get to a point where a bad play defensively is a first down – not necessarily an explosive . So that’s something to challenge in the group.” If there has been a trouble spot, then, it’s been at the cornerback position, where the Trojans are placing an overwhelming amount of stock in Wright and Domani Jackson’s development ahead of Arizona transfer Christian Roland-Wallace, who offers depth and versatility but has been largely quiet through three games.
