During Thursday's practice under yet another warm, cloudless sky, the Trojans responded well to head coach Lane Kiffin's demand for a higher level of intensity. Some brief notes through the eyes of the RipsIt Blog...
- With the defensive effort dominating the previous two practices, the offense stole the spotlight today with several long completions by Matt Barkley and Mitch Mustain and a smattering of quality runs by tailbacks Curtis McNeal, Marc Tyler, Allen Bradford and CJ Gable.
- The team continued to devote significant practice time to special teams drills, again running a punt protection exercise and a highly competitive three-on-one return coverage drill that incorporated the flag teams.
- Stanley Havili returned to practice and looked active while running and catching passes.
- Ronald Johnson's speed continues to be a major asset to the USC offense. The senior wide receiver showed that he could beat his defenders deep as well as across the field.
Stay tuned for photos from today's practice and a more detailed report from the gridiron.
