LOS ANGELES (AP) — Linebacker Drake Jackson’s season got off to a slow start as he failed to record a sack in the first two games of what he has said will be his final season at Southern California before declaring for the NFL draft. But a strip-sack that was recovered for a touchdown in the Trojans’ 45-14 win at Washington State might be what kickstarts Jackson’s junior campaign. He will have a chance to build on that success when the Trojans host Oregon State on Saturday. Jackson has yet to become the dominant pass rusher USC has sorely needed, with 8 1/2 sacks among his 19 tackles for loss in 20 career games.
