The USC offensive line has only allowed 29 pressures this season, but the group will be tested by elite Wisconsin pass rusher Sebastian Cheeks on Saturday.
The USC offensive line has emerged as a key strength for the 6-1 Trojans, having conceded only 29 pressures and seven sacks across seven games this season. Coached by Zach Hanson, the unit has maintained high performance despite injuries, including true freshman Vlad Dyakonov starting at Penn State in place of Elijah Paige.
USC is expected to have all five starting offensive linemen available against Wisconsin on Saturday, as both Paige and left guard Hayden Treter return from injuries. Quarterback Jayden Maiava has faced pressure on just over 20% of his dropbacks, helping protect a passer who completes 79% of throws from clean pockets.
