LOS ANGELES (AP) -Pac-10 sacks leader Nick Perry has missed Southern California’s latest practice because of a bruised knee.
The freshman defensive end has six sacks in four games for the No. 7 Trojans, surprising even his coaches with his quick contributions to USC’s defense. He already has more sacks than any player on last season’s USC team.
Coach Pete Carroll says he doesn’t know whether Perry will be able to play when USC (3-1, 1-1) visits No. 24 California (3-1, 0-1) Saturday.
USC quarterback Matt Barkley’s bruised right shoulder shows continued improvement, Carroll says. Barkley looked sharp during throwing drills Tuesday, while Mitch Mustain got additional snaps as the second-team quarterback in his competition with Aaron Corp for the backup job.
