Thoughts from Friday's practice, through the eyes of USCRipsIt...
- On an ideal afternoon, the Trojans closed out the work week with a brief, crisp half-pads practice that finalized installation of the Boston College game plan, leaving the entire next week as review for the Emerald Bowl on Dec. 26. "It was really important for us to get it right," Coach Carroll said of the game plan. "The preparation has gone well, we've had strong practices and we're in good shape going into the break."
- Tailback Allen Bradford, who injured his knee in Thursday's practice, sat out Friday but "should be fine," Carroll said.
- Cornerback Kevin Thomas tweaked his ankle this week and sat out Friday for precautionary reasons, Carroll said.
- As is the norm for "No Repeat Thursday" practices, a heavy dose of special teams work was sprinkled in throughout the half-pads workout.
- The Trojans will now break for the weekend before reconvening on Monday morning at 9:30 a.m. to begin the final week of Emerald Bowl preparations. The team will leave for San Francisco on Monday at 2 p.m. after a quick morning practice on campus.
