    Two days after a baseball cap and a day after no hat, Coach Carroll went with a black visor Monday. “It’s a compromise,” said Carroll, who’s trying to give himself more sun protection this year.

  • When talking to the media following Monday’s practice, Coach Carroll had nothing but praises to say about two freshmen in particular. – Carroll on quarterback Matt Barkley: “He threw some terrific balls today. He’s progressing. He had a very good day today.” – Carroll on linebacker Jarvis Jones, who moved to strong-side linebacker Monday: “He…

  • Check out the standout performers from Monday’s practice: – Tight end Blake Ayles had the highlight play of the day when he stretched out for a one-handed catch on an over route before rolling to the ground near the left sideline during team period, drawing an ovation from the several hundred fans in attendance. “That…

  • Thoughts from Monday’s practice, through the eyes of USCRipsIt… – For the third straight day, the Trojans turned in a highly competitive — and remarkably crisp — practice, with the offense and defense both producing highlight-reel plays on the team’s first day in shoulder pads. And for the second time in three practices, the offense…

  • <!—-><!—->Christian Tupou and his fellow defensive linemen have heard it at least once — probably more. Defensive line coach Jethro Franklin‘s unleashed plenty of hollering since coming back to USC, and through Sunday’s practice at Howard Jones Field, it’s worked. But it’s not that Franklin has a short fuse; he’s got a plan. Go inside…

  • For me it happened when quarterback Aaron Corp rolled out to his left, found no one open, and then scrambled all the way to the other side of the field before he completed a pass. It was one of the best examples of what Corp’s foot speed adds to the offense.

    Now that he is no longer a safety and playing linebacker, Shane Horton’s gained five pounds since camp started and is up to 215. Horton had been careful with his diet to avoid getting any bigger when he played safety.

  • It was American Idol night at the start of USC’s team meeting Sunday. In a scene made for a movie, freshman linebacker Marquis Simmons wowed the Trojans with a rendition of “Lean on Me” that had the roomful of players, coaches and staffers standing, singing along, locking arms and swaying to the tune.
