Sophomore linebackers Brian Cushing and Rey Maualuga continue to see playing time with the first-team defense, but in Cushing's case it's at a different position.Cushing has seen the most action as the "elephant," a linebacker/defensive end hybrid position that makes USC's defense more similar to a 3-4 scheme.
It allows Cushing to be on the line to pass rush, but he can also drop back into pass coverage if needed...
...Carroll has been impressed with Cushing's play and style so far...
