- Without Woods, the Trojans have a hole at nose tackle. However, head coach Steve Sarkisian explained "that it is really not that much of a difference" in terms of the technique for a defensive end or defensive tackle in this system.
- Delvon Simmons is a potential candidate to replace Woods, and he could use his 6-foot-5 frame to disrupt Nebraska QB Tommy Armstrong Jr. "When you're that tall and you're in the middle of the defense and you can get your hands up, it can affect a quarterback some throwing the ball over the middle," said Sarkisian.
- TE Bryce Dixon made a tremendous one-handed catch during 7-on-7 with his left hand. "I think Bryce's future is very bright in our program. He is a really talented guy," said Sarkisian, who pointed out that Randall Telfer's leadership was key in developing Dixon.
- The Trojans will have a light practice tomorrow before taking Sunday and Monday off.
