Lost amid the transfer of tailback Emmanuel Moody was the news that Joe McKnight will share punt-return duties with Desmond Reed in the season-opener against Idaho.

Desmond's been a real trooper, I've never heard of him complaining.

At least the Idaho game might be somewhat interesting now.

well geez scott that's huge! Joe McKnight MIGHT return 1 punt in a meaningless game vs. Idaho....

E. Moody just walked and some other people might do the same, like A. Perez and Schweiger..I think there are other things we should be concerned about.

USC1966-

Relax, the sky is not falling. With the stockpiling of talent that USC brings in each year, some guys are gonna feel lost in the shuffle. So transfers are inevitable. None of these transfer losses are even blips on the radar.
Moody was the fourth string running back (possibly fifth string with the way stafon is playing). He became expendable with the signing of Joe McKnight.
Perez was at best the fourth safety and Schweiger didn't beat out Kyle Moore last year...would he have beaten out Moore and Griffen this year?
So no need to panic. USC will be top tier for at least the next 3 seasons barring massive injuries.
