USC Trojans Game Notes
USC coach Lincoln Riley said Thursday that Mario Williams (undisclosed) is expected to be available for Saturday’s game versus UCLA, Ryan Kartje of the Los Angeles Times reports. Williams is in line to make his return Saturday after missing the team’s last three games. The sophomore wideout tallied 26 receptions for 493 yards and four touchdowns across the first seven games of the season.
UCLA Bruins Game Notes
Keegan Jones (undisclosed) practiced Tuesday, James H. Williams of the Orange County Register reports. Jones was sidelined to start Week 11 prep due to an undisclosed injury but ultimately suited up against Arizona, though he garnered a limited offensive role. Despite being healthy heading into Week 12, Jones is still firmly supplanted behind Zach Charbonnet on the depth chart, so the former shouldn’t be expected to see a hefty offensive workload against USC.
