Thoughts from Thursday's practice, through the eyes of USCRipsIt...
- Achieving exactly what they wanted to accomplish, the Trojans conducted a very spirited, precise practice on a cool Thursday evening to wrap up the heavy-duty portion of Arizona game week. The first-team offense headlined the day by going a perfect 4-for-4 in the final team period, producing four consecutive successful plays to close out the day. "That was a well-done Thursday," Coach Carroll said in the post-practice team huddle. "Coaches on both sides were loving what they saw today."
- Tailback Joe McKnight (thigh bruise) practiced substantially and has been declared set to play Saturday, Carroll said. "He felt great about getting through practice," Carroll said. "He's ready to go."
- The Trojans head into their season finale perhaps the healthiest they've been all year, with almost every regular starter at or near full strength. "We're in really good shape," Carroll said. "We're very thankful these guys are coming back."
- Defensive end Malik Jackson had an athletic interception on the final play of the practice.
