USC will face Fresno State without transfer wide receiver Terrell Anderson for a second consecutive game, delaying the former North Carolina State standout’s debut, while defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart also remains unavailable. The Trojans are managing a broader injury list, though several players—including receiver Tanook Hines—were seen warming up and could potentially return. Fresno State senior defensive back Ryan Wilson was carted off with an apparent leg injury after a no-contact play in the second quarter, and the severity was not immediately known. With injuries reshaping USC’s depth chart, receiver Corey Simms has an opportunity to expand his role after catching four passes for 42 yards in the opener, while Chasen Johnson and Elbert “Rock” Hill continue competing for a starting cornerback spot.

USC's depth is really getting tested this season. Losing Anderson again plus Stewart and Hines is a lot to overcome against any opponent.
Hope Wilson's leg injury isn't serious, non-contact injuries can be scary and unpredictable. Prayers for a quick recovery.
