But Powers said he is not concerned, at least offensively. Without Fairfield, the Trojans hit .410 in a loss to UC Santa Barbara last week. It's the same thing. We're trying different guys there. In any scenario, Powers said, Billings will be the featured hitter.
Billings is believed to have the most powerful swing in college volleyball.
USC officials said Billings once burst a volleyball on a spike. While Billings' shots are strong, they also can be erratic and, sometimes, defendable. You can stay low, so you can dig it. If I have to sprawl forward to dig it, I'll sprawl forward. It's better than having to come up to make the dig.
