The Trojans welcome a free Saturday this week, tailback Joe McKnight probably would like to just keep rolling. McKnight reached a milestone in the seventh-ranked Trojans' victory over California, carrying the ball a career-high 20 times for 119 yards and two touchdowns. "I wasn't getting tired," McKnight said Monday after a team meeting. "I'll take it as long as they keep giving it to me." The junior had expected a heavier workload against Cal after senior Stafon Johnsonsuffered a serious throat injury in a weightlifting accident last Monday. McKnight's previous high for carries was 16 against Ohio State on Sept. 12.
