Practice Report
The field was a little slick this morning but the more pressing issue for the Trojans might at cornerback. Torin Harris seems like he is still out and if Isiah Wiley or Nickell Robey get hurt, options are limited.
Lane Kiffin mentioned walk-on James Harbin as a possibility. Tony Burnett, who slipped down the depth chart, is also available.
Tailback Marc Tyler will be a game-time decision, Kiffin said. Wide receiver Marqise Lee looks fine though Kiffin said he will need to monitor his sprained shoulder.
I can see Monte fearing a ND passing attack on a weak trojan defensive backfield. And he may be right. It is going to be up to Barry & Orgeron to get their position players after the ND QB to where he can't stand there and watch for open recievers to throw to.
Burnett played well against ND last year. Give the dude another chance.
So Monte, are you having Michael Floyd nightmares yet? In addition to massive pressure on the QB.. You sure better be thumping Floyd at the line of scrimmage all game long! The way those big ASU receivers owned our pint sized CB's.. Floyd, who's probably drooling for his shot at our secondary, definitely needs to be isolated!
Fight On
sureshot is right, and why have Marc Tyler take the needle for his dislocated shoulder when we have 4 other TB's and need a healthy Tyler for the Stanford and Oregon games?
Speaking of shots, Gilly, I believe that the new improved Tampa 2 should involve our SongGirls taking Floyd out for drinks the night before!
