It worked while it lasted for Ryan Powdrell -- a linebacker converted to fullback.

"We're continuing to look for a physical presence at that spot and he's tough," Trojans coach Pete Carroll said. "He understands a lot and he's picking stuff up fast."

There's no denying Thomas Williams' toughness, so as long as he can add some soft hands, giving Booty a nice option to throw to out of the backfield, he will become yet another weapon for USC.
