A high ankle sprain had sapped the senior defensive end of his usual effectiveness. “I was doing him a disservice, and I was also doing the team a disservice by putting him out there,” USC defensive line coach Chad Kauha’aha’a admitted Tuesday. Freshman Drake Jackson, USC’s other starting defensive end, is facing an extended absence with his own high ankle sprain. The senior defensive end hasn’t practiced yet this week, and his status for Friday’s game against Colorado remains up in the air. Last week, Tremblay put together his best performance since arriving at USC, defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast said.
