Lane Kiffin said tonight he is giving a lot of thought to not having live tackling in Saturday's final scrimmage before the Hawaii game in order to try to prevent injuries.

uh, easy there, norca....heh-heh, let's not get carried away now. no need to get all huffy!
by then, MM16 will be the starter, and i fear him more than the Pious Passer (aka The Cherub) due to MM's dual threat capacity. the only time The Cherub is a dual threat on the field is if someone brings a pizza out there.
Not sure this is a good idea. fucla hasn't tackled in years, and you see where they are.

With the defensive line and lockdown corners SC has there won't be many breakthrough runs or catches by opponents, so tackling is a moot point

but without tackling, how will the trojans get used to the taste of dirt? or the crunch of broken souls? pete carroll better toughen up your boys, maybe import some south bend soil so they can learn to like that taste -- they'll be eating a bellyfull come october.
touchdown jesus will get his revenge, charlie weis will get another contract extension, and trojans will be picking south bend earthworms from their teeth.
no tacking, what a joke. And somehow these USC football players are having injuries every single day of practice, can you imagine if they actually had live tackling? they would recruiting players from the student body right now just to field a team.

This approach hasn't hurt the NFL teams. I always had a concern for "Competition Tuesday". Save if for game day.

I'm sure Pete isn't bringing "Competition Tuesdays" to the Seahawks.
SECTION 12 ROW 52 said:
@TrojanConquest: I have posted many times about Competition Tuesday. I agree with you...There have been alot of Saturday's where the team looked very lethargic and like they left their "A" game on the practice field. Probably because the players thought the battle was won on Tuesday when they secured their starting job for another week. I do not believe Competition Tuesday was held during the Bowl Preparation Week....and the Bowl results show it.

Smart move by Lane. Limit the injuries. The NC two A and UCLA are conspiring to knock down troy by only giving them around 50 scholarship players. Try try try as hard as they might, we'll be ready to smash in skulls and break jaws starting Sept. 2nd and ending most gloriously December 4th for our AP championship game!!!

Lloyd Carr had no-tackling practices. That worked out okay... for awhile.
Manti will single handedly smash your pathetic football team this year.
ND Larry alert. Alert, alert. ND Larry homer alert. Everyone evacuate the building...
