Stamp Of Approval

USC coach Pete Carroll said he approved of both schedule changes announced yesterday. The Oregon State game, originally scheduled for Sept. 27, will move to Sept. 25, which is a Thursday.
"It worked out well for us playing on Thursday this year," Carroll said.
USC's home game with Oregon was switched from Nov. 22 to Oct. 4.
"We had too many byes at the beginning of the year," Carroll said.
This gives USC just what it needs next year, a late bye to prepare two weeks for Charlie Weis.
