SAN FRANCISCO -- The urgency and excitement for Saturday's Emerald Bowl is becoming more and more palpable by the day.
"We're in football mode now," a noticeably energized Coach Carroll said during this morning's team meeting. "It's Thursday -- we're really close!"
The Trojans have just today's practice, tomorrow's walk-thru and Saturday's game remaining before the 2009 season is laid to rest.
"This is it, it's all we got left," Carroll told his players. "So let's max it out."
