USC Football was back in full pads on Friday and the defensive players in all white were loving the action.
“I liked it, putting full pads on, really getting a little hit on,” linebacker John Houston said after the Trojans finished up practice on Howard Jones Field.
Houston was one of a few defenders who took full advantage of thud periods, smacking Dominic Davis to the ground during 7-on-7.
The team run period also featured a number of big hits. The first came via early camp star Ykili Ross, who popped tight end Erik Krommenhoek.
