Friends stuck in middle - OC Register
Oscar Lua and Rey Maualuga knew the competition for the starting job at middle linebacker could one day tackle them, test their maturity and take a toll upon their friendship.

But competition, they realized early, is what USC coach Pete Carroll uses to drive their effort, improve their skills and develop them into starters.

Both have split repetitions with the top defense and both will play middle linebacker in Saturday's...opener at Arkansas...
