The final day of the work week also means it's the final day of the Trojan time shift.
Though the calendar says otherwise, it's "No Repeat Thursday" at USC today, which puts an onus on the players and coaches to be crisp, precise and perfect during this afternoon's workout. A key element of that attitude of exactitude is the penalty issue, something that has clearly plagued the Trojans all season. USC is 101st out of 120 FBS teams with 63.4 penalty yards per game.
And it could be an even bigger factor in the Emerald Bowl next Saturday. Boston College has recorded just 44.7 penalty yards per game, good for 26th in the nation.
"They know what they're doing," Coach Carroll said of the Eagles during this afternoon's team meeting. "We cannot let this be to their advantage this game. We don't want to give them anything."
