Unfortunately, Wells is not going to play and will be sidelined with a foot injury. Also, a big news story is about USC’s quarterback, Mark Sanchez. Sanchez had a decent game against Virgina University two weeks ago, where he threw three touchdowns and one interception. Will see if Sanchez can do the same thing against a top five team.
