LOS ANGELES (AP) - Southern California is gearing up to face the leading rushing team in the country, and Sedrick Ellis smiled at the thought of it.
Ellis, a 6-foot-1, 285-pound sophomore, is the successor to standout nose tackle Mike Patterson in top-ranked USC's defensive line, and he's ready to get down and dirty in his second collegiate start when the Trojans (1-0) entertain Arkansas (1-1) in their home opener Saturday night.
In USC's season-opening 63-17 victory Sept. 3 at Hawaii, Ellis and his running mates up front spent most of their time chasing quarterbacks because the Warriors threw 49 passes and netted 60 yards on 21 rushing attempts.
