Malepeai on USC's O-LINE Performance

"I feel like the O-LINE was really getting to their blocks. At the end of the day we just got to finish our drives. I feel like as long as we are on the same page we're fine. We were on the same page today, but like I said we just have to finish our drives and we will be fine."
