Is Usc Really Going To Start 12 Players Against Stanford

They’re advantage won’t be size, speed or talent. It will be sheer manpower, or at least that’s what the USC Athletic’s official Twitter account wants us to believe. You see, they announced their starting lineups for Saturday’s game, and it appears as if the Trojans will be starting 12 men on both offense and defense.

Now, to be fair, issuing a 12-man starting lineup is not uncommon despite the fact that a team can only have 11 players on the feel at one time.

But because teams have multiple offensive and defensive packages, teams often list all their starters, like four wide receivers and running back and a tight end, despite the fact that a four wide receiver set doesn’t include a tight end.

But if something shady happens during the game, you cna be sure that Stanford fans will refer to these tweets as evidence of foul play.
