Things are a-changing

Shift happens.

Or, as Coach Carroll said, shift has to happen -- and it all starts now.

During this morning's team meeting, Carroll formally kicked off the Trojan reclamation process, turning his team's focus to change and adjusting what had produced three losses in the past five games.

"We're faced with a new challenge," Carroll said, echoing what he discussed during Monday's team meeting. "We need to take advantage of everything we can to get right. We need to do everything better.

"This has to happen. We're going to grow with this as we change this thing."

In fact, one tangible, very symbolic shift has already happened this morning. Carroll called on his players to change seats, a tradition he normally reserves for the start of Spring Practice and Fall Camp each year to represent the freshness of starting a new chapter of the program.

"This is a good start, I like it," a grinning Carroll said after his players shuffled around to find new seats in Heritage Auditorium. "It's supposed to look different -- this gives you a new perspective."
