Fresno State coach Pat Hill says it all starts with the centerpiece of USC’s offense.

“It all starts with their offensive line. I am a big Ryan Kalil fan,” said Hill

“He isn’t as big as people are looking for in this day and age, but I think it starts with him. He is the leader of that unit. He is an outstanding, outstanding, offensive center.”

Fresno State even recruited Ryan Kalil coming out of Servite HS. Pete Carroll made mention of Hill’s ability to find guys that other teams overlook, and turn them into great players.
