Three Other Trojans Ineligible For 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.
“We’re really disappointed these guys didn’t come through,” Carroll said in a statement. “They had all the help in the world to get it done and they didn’t do it.”
