SAN FRANCISCO -- Thoughts from Thursday's practice, through the eyes of USCRipsIt...
- On another picture-perfect day in northern California, the Trojans completed their final practice of Emerald Bowl week and the 2009 season with a brief half-pads workout at City College of San Francisco, one that mainly acted as a review of the game plan. USC now has just a walk-thru on Friday at AT&T Park before Saturday's game against Boston College. "I don't know if you noticed," Coach Carroll excitedly said in the post-practice huddle, "but it's Thursday!"
- Joe McKnight practiced for the first time since Monday, rotating in at first-team tailback throughout the workout even though his status for the game remains in the air. Carroll said there's a "legitimate chance" McKnight would be cleared to return to football. "There's still other things and other processings to be done," Carroll said. "We don't know when that will happen. But it's good to have him back with us."
- Cornerback Kevin Thomas sat out with soreness in his ankle, but Carroll said he's "planning on playing" Saturday against Boston College.
- NFL Hall of Famer and USC alum Ronnie Lott attended the practice.
