Early Impressions
Freshman wide receiver Vidal Hazelton practiced with the veterans Thursday and already drew compliments from his teammates.
``He went up and got one ball and I was like, `Wow, he's a man,' '' defensive end Lawrence Jackson said.
Meanwhile, offensive line coach Pat Ruel told the starting line they were already sharp enough in first-day drills that they could be better than last season's group.



This does mean Hazelton is cleared, doesnt it?
Hot damn!
Can't wait to see the offensive line open up those holes. Then people will realize the success of the running attack was largely in part because of the offensive line. I think Petros and past USC running backs of the JRob II and Hackett era will admit the o-line during those years were crappy.
