Reminder, PFF adjusts these middle of the week upon further analysis, but here is what they have initially ...

OFFENSE -- snaps (PFF grades)

QB Caleb Williams -- 84 (91.0)
LG Emmanuel Pregnon -- 84 (64.8)
LT Jonah Monheim -- 84 (63.4)
C Justin Dedich -- 84 (62.8)
RG Mason Murphy -- 84 (56.9)
RT Jarrett Kingston -- 75 (57.5)
WR Tahj Washington -- 62 (75.3)
WR Dorian Singer -- 52 (53.3)
RB MarShawn Lloyd -- 52 (62.0)
TE Lake McRee -- 51 (77.4)
WR Kyron Hudson -- 42 (69.7)
WR Brenden Rice -- 42 (60.6)
RB Austin Jones -- 37 (58.0)
WR Zachariah Branch -- 32 (52.1)
WR Michael Jackson III -- 28 (53.6)
WR Mario Williams -- 14 (58.5)
RT Michael Tarquin -- 9
TE Jude Wolfe -- 7
WR Duce Robinson -- 1

*That's the second straight week Mario Williams has played a significantly reduced share of snaps (11 last week vs. Utah) while that was Michael Jackson III's second-most snaps of the season (41 vs. Notre Dame)

Here were the O-line stats:
Monheim -- 3 pressures (0 sacks), 1 penalty
Pregnon -- 2 pressures (0 sacks), 1 penalty
Dedich -- 0 pressures, 0 penalties
Murphy -- 3 pressures (0 sacks), 0 penalties
Kingston -- 4 pressures (1 sack), 0 penalties
Tarquin -- 1 pressure (0 sacks), 0 penalties
(I thought I recalled a penalty on Murphy, but maybe I'm mistaken)

WR drops: Branch 2, Mario W 1

*Gentry had played just 15 snaps vs. Utah and 2 vs. Notre Dame. His previous season-high was 36 vs. Stanford. I look forward to asking Grinch/Riley what prompted his sudden change in role. His usage has been the biggest curiosity to me all season because he's usually effective when in there.
*This was Curtis' second-lowest snap count (16 vs. Nevada).
*And, of course, no Raesjon Davis. I don't know why he's the odd man out.
*This was Hughes' most snaps since Week 2 vs. Stanford. He'd only played in one other game since then (Notre Dame), per PFF.
*Benton played his second-most snaps of the season (54 vs. Colorado) after playing only 14 vs. Utah and 10 vs. Notre Dame. Alexander having to sit the first half obviously gave him more opportunity.

USC had only 7 pressures, which is surely among their lowest totals of the season (I'll go back through the past games later this week when I update the PFF data). Pressures came from: Byrd 3, Alexander 2, Curtis 1, Gentry 1.

Missed tackles (12): Curtis 3, Cobb 3, Smith 2, Alexander 1, Bullock 1, Shaw 1, Jackson 1

CB coverage stats:

Jackson -- 3 receptions for 37 yards on 4 targets, 1 pass interference penalty
Roland-Wallace -- 3 for 43 yards on 6 targets, 1 pass interference
