Good news (as far as we’re concerned) on the special teams front:

After experimenting with 6’5″ wide receiver Patrick Turner returning punts the last two weeks, USC Head coach Pete Carroll announced Saturday that tailback Desmond Reed will resume punt duty full time on Saturday when Notre Dame comes to the Coliseum.

You will recall that Reed was injured last season at Notre Dame, a casualty of the unkempt field the Irish employed to try and slow the Trojans. We trust Desmond will take advantage of this opportunity to exact sweet, poetic revenge on the Golden Domer special teams.
