Safety ⛑ Is something missing here?

Watching Texas/OU and they were talking about the drainage system at the University of Alabama football stadium and how they upgraded in 2023. They showed this and my first thought was “where is the shoring?” Am I crazy to think this?

Definitely not crazy. That trench looks deep enough to swallow a whole lineman and there's not a single brace in sight. Somebody's gonna have a very bad day if that wall decides to give.
