Southern Cal quarterback injures knee after hot start

Southern Cal quarterback J.T. Daniels already had thrown for 215 yards before getting hurt on a blitz 27 seconds before halftime on Saturday night against Fresno State in Los Angeles.

Daniels, a sophomore, returned to the sideline on crutches for the second half, and the Trojans said Sunday he would miss the rest of the season because of a torn ligament and meniscus in his right knee.

Coach Clay Helton called the injury "gut-wrenching, when you see a kid that's poured so much into the game and into this team."

USC defeated Fresno State 31-23.

Fresno State plays the Gophers in its home opener this week. The Bulldogs had won 21 of their past 25 games under coach Jeff Tedford.

Scott Satterfield will make his Louisville head coaching debut Monday night at Cardinal Stadium against No. 9 Notre Dame (7 p.m., ESPN).

Satterfield makes the jump from a successful tenure at Appalachian State, where he went 51-24 in six seasons.

Fighting Irish quarterback Ian Book is coming off a season in which he completed 68.2% of his throws and compiled a 154 passer rating, fifth best in program history.

Notre Dame freshman Quinn Carroll, a highly touted offensive lineman from Edina High School, is out for the season because of a knee injury. Carroll was projected to take a redshirt his first season, but he likely would have seen a few snaps in mop-up duty.

Seven players started their first games as Big Ten quarterbacks in Week 1: Justin Fields, (Ohio State), Sean Clifford (Penn State), Hunter Johnson (Northwestern), Josh Jackson (Maryland), Michael Penix Jr. (Indiana), Brandon Peters (Illinois) and McLane Carter (Rutgers).
