Trojans Need All Hands on Deck

With questions arising about whether senior receiver Larry Parker might have to redshirt because of a foot injury, sophomore R. Jay Soward said the stable of young receivers will have to be ready.

“That’s kind of scary, if Larry’s gone,” Soward said. “That’s a little more pressure on me and a lot more young guys.”

Parker will undergo tests to determine whether his nagging injuries are related to a foot problem that might need to be corrected.
