Thoughts from Monday's practice, through the eyes of USCRipsIt...
- In their final practice on Howard Jones Field this season, the Trojans began the week-long game plan review process in a snappy half-pads practice. "Bowl week is underway -- it's on us already," Coach Carroll said in the post-practice team huddle. "Now it comes down to who's going to have a better week -- us or Boston College. Let's do our part every day."
- The offense claimed narrow victories in both the 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 periods, with both wins coming on the final play of each period.
- During team drills, cornerback Shareece Wright had an impressive interception on a deep ball and tailback C.J. Gable broke a big run up the middle for the two highlight plays of the day.
- The Trojan offense practiced calling plays from about 50 yards downfield from the huddle to prepare for the sideline oddity they'll see on Saturday at AT&T Park, where the two teams share the same side of the field, which can create long distances between the coaches and players in the game.
- Defensive back Patrick Hall has been academically cleared and will enroll in school in the spring, Carroll announced.
- Per tradition, the seniors ran through a tunnel of underclassmen at the end of practice on their way off of Howard Jones Field for the final time in their careers.
