USC has had better seasons. More specifically, USC has had better weeks. As the Joe McKnight controversy puts a question mark on whether or not he’ll be eligible to play, USC suspends three other players from the upcoming Emerald Bowl.
Tight end Anthony McCoy, offensive tackle Tyron Smith and defensive tackle Averell Spicer have all been ruled academically ineligible. Pete Carroll was displeased, to say the least:
McCoy and Smith are both starters and earned honorable mention All-Pac-10 honors. Spicer is a key reserve. McCoy and Spicer are both seniors, so their USC careers are over.
