Game day Notes and News

Corso put on the Duck head. Kiffin says they're going to play a lot of people on defense. Two problems: they don't normally do so, and they don't have a lot of people. They're thin on defense, with some key injuries and players coming off of injuries, including starting defensive linemen Nick Perry and Wes Horton.

Ken Goe has a pregame report. Kenjon Barner is traveling. Hard to think he will suit up or play. Too soon for that. A USC assistant coach, John Baxter, is popping off.

Early scores: South Carolina over Tennessee 24-17. The Vols might go winless in the SEC, not good for the Ducks. On Thursday, #16 Florida State lost 24-10 to North Carolina State. #17 Oklahoma State 17-7 over Kansas State. Virginia up 23-0 on #22 Miami, and this hurts Ohio State. Jacory Harris knocked out of the game.
