USC center Toa Lobendahn to miss rest of the season with knee injury

USC football coach Clay Helton announced Thursday that starting center Toa Lobendahn would miss the rest of the season due to a tear in his ACL and MCL.

Lobendahn suffered the injury during the Trojans' season-opening loss to No. 1 Alabama, but he played throughout that game.

A junior, Lobendahn missed the back end of the 2015 season due to a knee injury as well.

Helton told reporters that Nico Falah will get the start in Lobendahn's place against Utah State
