USC running back Joe McKnight has been cleared to rejoin the Trojans and practice Thursday in preparation for the Emerald Bowl, coach Pete Carroll said.

USC wide receiver Damian Williams will forego his senior year and enter the NFL draft, according to multiple sources.

It's official: Most of USC's football team has made it to San Francisco for the Emerald Bowl, at least in body.

Southern California coach Pete Carroll is preparing for Saturday's Emerald Bowl with the thought that leading rusher Joe McKnight won't be able to play.

Once again, amid the kindling that has become the USC football program, "Fight On" is being drowned out by two other sounds.

USC tight end Anthony McCoy might be academically ineligible to play in this week's Emerald Bowl against Boston College.

USC has been down this road before in recent years. There was talk of NCAA violations with Reggie Bush and OJ Mayo.

Joe McKnight smiles in his University of Southern California hat during the ceremony where he signs a letter of intent to attend Southern California, in River Ridge, La., in this Feb.

USC coach Pete Carroll confirmed a report that the school is investigating tailback Joe McKnight's use of a sport utility vehicle owned by a Santa Monica businessman.

There is a new most important guy at the NFL draft combine : USC senior RB Stafon Johnson , who has missed most of this season following a freak weightlifting accident, will not apply for a medical hardship and will turn pro, according to his uncle.

With final exams set to resume today at USC, C.J.Gable should be more than prepared mentally.

Tailback C.J. Gable just wants to play. Whether his next opportunity comes at USC or in the NFL remains to be seen.

USC fell to the Arizona Wildcats Saturday afternoon, 21-17. With that defeat, the Trojans fell out of the Top 25 for the first time since 2001 and are just fortunate enough the USC name is big enough to keep them in a bowl game taking place after Christmas Day.

An emotional Mark Stoops struggled to maintain his composure on two occasions when talking about the Wildcats' victory Saturday.

Damian Williams Dec. 6, 2009 USC will meet Boston College in the Emerald Bowl game at AT&T Park.

For the first time since 2001, the Trojans are not playing its last regular season game for the right to go to a BCS bowl.

Passing through USC quarterback Matt Barkley's last pass was a controversial one, but it went 48 yards for a touchdown against UCLA so the freshman enters today with some confidence after struggling for much of the second half of the season.

When Juron Criner stretched and stumbled across the goal line for Arizona's go-ahead touchdown, the Coliseum fell into a gloomy silence that matched the dark clouds above Southern California's once-intimidating stadium.

When Taylor Mays elected to stay at Southern California for his final season, the All-American safety never thought he'd be hoping his senior day ended with a berth in the Holiday Bowl.
