COLLEGE FOOTBALL / DAILY REPORT : USC : Abrams May Kick Against Oregon State

Kicker Adam Abrams will be at Oregon State on Saturday, and a decision on his availability will be made at game time. He has sat out six games because of a torn thigh muscle. Walk-on freshman Adam Rendon has filled in for him. . . . Starting quarterback Brad Otton sat out a third consecutive practice Thursday, the result of a concussion last Saturday. Coach John Robinson had said Wednesday that Kyle Wachholtz will start and “probably play the whole game.”
