LOS ANGELES -- Southern California tailback Hershel Dennis, who entered spring practice No. 1 on the depth chart, has torn ligaments in his left knee and is expected to miss the 2006 season.Dennis was injured in practice Tuesday, apparently trying to cut on the wet artificial turf at USC's Cromwell Field. An MRI taken Wednesday night revealed the damage.


The fifth-year senior tore ligaments in the same knee in December 2004, had surgery the following month and sat out last season. USC coach Pete Carroll said after practice Thursday that the school would look into applying for a sixth year of eligibility for Dennis. A date wasn't immediately set for surgery.


Running back Desmond Reed, who played as a backup last season, will also miss the season, ESPN's Joe Schad reports.

2 backs out for the season...

The Dennis injury doesn't hurt that much. He's an okay speed back that's no better than Desmond Reed. Now we'll get a chance to see the top freshman RB Stafon Johnson in extended action.
