Mays, Pinkard, and Gable Will Return

Safety Talor Mays, cornerback Josh Pinkard and tailback C.J. Gable will all return next season for USC football, according to coach Pete Carroll. Mays was strongly condsidering entering the NFL draft, but decided to stay in school. Had Gable left, he would not have left a strong impression, having fumbled once in the Trojans' last two games, including the opening drive against UCLA. Gable was subsequently benched each time and never returned to the game.
