Our USC reporter sounds as if he’s sidelined with bronchitis, but I have a new one for Thursday’s injury report. Probable — Clemson beat writer (hyperextended web between thumb and index finger, stingray petting).

I grew up in a working-class neighborhood of Los Angeles just east of Hollywood but close enough that I attended Hollywood High School. Some days I'd walk home along Hollywood Boulevard.
