USC Trojans to be without several starters vs. Oregon, per report

The Oregon Ducks have been hit hard by the injury bug late in this season, and they're expecting to be without two of their best wide receivers on Saturday vs. the USC Trojans, with Dakorien Moore and Gary Bryant Jr. reportedly out once again.

However, they are not alone in being dinged up at this point in the year. It appears that the Trojans are also expected to be without several starters in this win-or-go-home game at Autzen Stadium on Saturday.

According to a report from CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz, the Trojans are expecting starting safeties Bishop Fitzgerald and Kamari Ramsey to miss the game, as well as starting left tackle Elijah Paige.

Fitzgerald and Ramsey are two of the top players on the Trojans' defense, with Fitzgerald leading the team in interceptions and being graded as the No. 1 safety in the nation, per Pro Football Focus.

We will see how all three players are listed on the official availability report two hours before kickoff, but it appears that both sidelines will be without some key pieces for Saturday's Big Ten matchup.
