COLLEGE FOOTBALL / DAILY REPORT : USC : Quarterback Rotation May Be Dropped
Coach John Robinson’s commitment to his two-quarterback offense has softened a bit with the Trojans beginning the stretch drive of the Pac-10 title race Saturday at Washington.
Brad Otton is still the starter and will play the first and third quarters, Kyle Wachholtz the second and fourth, providing both play well in the first half.
“Starting Saturday, if either guy has a bad first half, we’ll go with the other quarterback in the second half,” Robinson said Tuesday.

Freshman receiver Mike Bastianelli had a new experience Saturday at Notre Dame. Losing.
In three varsity seasons at De La Salle High in Conford, Calif., his teams went 39-0. USC was 6-0 when it lost at Notre Dame, 38-10.
“At our Sunday meeting, I looked around at all the players’ and coaches’ faces and I saw expressions I’d never seen before,” he said.
