COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : USC : Ifeanyi Might Play Saturday

Suspended defensive end Israel Ifeanyi might be cleared in time to play in Saturday’s game at California, according to USC sources. Ifeanyi, linebacker Errick Herrin and tailback Shawn Walters have been suspended after allegations they took money from an agent.

“It’s looking good for Izzy for Saturday, maybe another week for Errick, longer for Shawn,” said one source.

Starting cornerback Brian Kelly, out because of an ankle sprain, is “in the last 10%” of his recovery, Coach John Robinson said. Kelly practiced lightly Tuesday and Wednesday. . . . USC is 4-0 for the first time since 1988, when the Trojans went 10-0 before losing to Notre Dame. The 1986 Trojans started 4-0, then lost to Washington State and Arizona State, and finished 7-4. . . . Freshman wide receiver Mike Bastianelli has taken over kickoff duties. After kicking three into the end zone at Arizona, he did it twice Saturday against Arizona State.
