Welcome to our new USC sports newsletter: The Times of Troy

USC sports beat writer Ryan Kartje at the L.A. Times has launched a new newsletter called The Times of Troy, tailored for Trojans fans. As USC enters unfamiliar territory in the Big Ten conference, Kartje will provide insights and stories behind USC’s games. In the latest newsletter, Kartje discusses USC’s upcoming game against Michigan, highlighting the defensive strategies of both teams and the influence of their coordinators on NFL and college football. USC’s defensive coordinator, D’Anton Lynn, has implemented a scheme influenced by his mentors Rex Ryan and Wink Martindale, known for deceptive pressure and disguised pass rushers. The upcoming game between USC and Michigan is expected to be a strategic chess match between coordinators who know each other well. Lynn’s success with USC’s defense has sparked speculation about his future coaching aspirations. Kartje also discusses USC quarterback Miller Moss’s quick pass release and provides a travel tip for fans visiting Ann Arbor to try Zingerman’s Deli. The newsletter includes top five Big Ten stadiums and a betting tip for the Illinois versus Nebraska game. The newsletter ends with updates on USC’s offense, Reggie Bush’s home break-in scare, and the reasoning behind advertising DirecTV on the Coliseum field. Fans can expect more USC insights and news in future editions of The Times of Troy.
