The extent of the injury to Pullard is currently unknown. If he is unable to finish this game or is slated to miss extended time, it would be a crushing blow to the Trojans defensive unit.
The 6-foot-1, 235 pound sophomore linebacker is one of USC’s top defensive players. The 20-year-old Pullard is a local product and has recorded 25 tackles in four games this season. He also snagged an interception which he took for a touchdown.
To replace Pullard, at least for the short-term, the Trojans summoned Anthony Sarao. A freshman, Sarao is a 6'0", 215-pound linebacker and has recorded six tackles and one sack so far this season.
