No Jarrett Means More of Turner

Patrick Turner arrived at USC last season billed as the latest in a growing line of rangy receivers that included Mike Williams and Dwayne Jarrett.

The 6-foot-5, 230-pound sophomore is expected to step into the forefront on Saturday when the third-ranked Trojans play at Washington State.

Jarrett is doubtful for the game because of a shoulder injury suffered in last week’s victory at Arizona.

He did not practice Monday, and left before the workout ended, but Coach Pete Carroll said the All-American told him he intended to make a run at playing.

Regardless, Turner, senior Chris McFoy and freshman Vidal Hazelton have moved up the depth chart.

“I just want to go out and make plays,” said Turner, who has four receptions for 28 yards and a touchdown.

McFoy, a fifth-year senior, has caught eight passes for 87 yards.

Hazelton has not caught a pass.

“I’m just excited to go out and finally get a chance to play,” he said.

Senior Mike Brittingham and junior Jody Adewale will play fullback and the Trojans will rely on tight ends more in the wake of freshman Stanley Havili’s broken leg, according to Carroll.

Havili, expected to sit out four to six weeks, started against Arizona and was injured in the second quarter.

“I was trying to block my guy and another guy jumped over and kicked my leg,” he said. “I stood up and my leg was shaking, but I didn’t want to come out. There were 54,000 people there (actually 58,801). I was like, ‘Nah, I’m not coming out yet.’ ”

Havili entered the training room at halftime, but did not seek help.

“They were on other guys, so I just grabbed some tape and taped my own leg,” he said.

Finally, in the third quarter, he could not take the discomfort.

“When you sit on the bench the first two games, you don’t want to come off,” he said.

The Trojans rested nearly the entire defensive backfield, including safety Kevin Ellison and cornerback Cary Harris. Cornerback Kevin Thomas (ankle) also did not practice. Carroll said cornerback Terrell Thomas did not attend the workout because he was having a sore shoulder evaluated. Linebacker Dallas Sartz worked some at safety in Ellison’s spot.

The Trojans practiced on Cromwell Field’s artificial turf while new grass sod was laid down at Howard Jones Field.... USC’s Oct. 7 game against Washington at the Coliseum will kick off at 12:30 p.m. and will be televised nationally on FSN West.
