USC wide receiver Drake London sustained a fractured ankle in Saturday's win over Arizona and will not play again for the Trojans this season.
Trojans star wideout Drake London suffered what could be a season-ending injury, while Jaxson Dart returned to action as USC beat Arizona 41-34.“Those eight games he played, all the awards you could think of, he deserves,” Williams said. “Whether it’s the Biletnikoff, whether it’s the All-American, the things he did for this team and this university, you know, he was about to put up one of the best statistical seasons that any receiver has put up in college football. That’s saying a lot.
London returned to the sideline in the third quarter, outfitted with a hard cast over his right ankle. He was still in high spirits after the season-ending injury was confirmed, hobbling into the Sunday team meeting on crutches.Baylor coach Dave Aranda continued to raise his stock as a potential USC candidate with a win over Texas, while Luke Fickell remains a tough target.
His loss is nothing short of devastating for a USC offense in which London accounted for 43% of the Trojans’ yards through the air. In his place, USC will have to rely on a cadre of receivers, many of whom have been inconsistent throughout this season. “I think it puts a great emphasis on those guys,” Williams said. “But at the same time, those aren’t the guys we’re truly worried about stepping up. It’s everyone else. The guys that no one has got a chance to truly see yet. The Michael Jacksons of the world. The Kyron Ware-Hudsons. The Joseph Manjacks.
