Emerald Bowl 2009 AT&T Park: USC
USC tailback Joe McKnight is not dressed for today’s Emerald Bowl against Boston College.
Although McKnight returned to practice with the team Thursday, USC’s compliance department clearly didn’t have enough time to clear him for the game.
The compliance office has been investigating whether McKnight broke NCAA rules by driving a car owned by his girlfriend’s boss.
Junior Allen Bradford is set to make his first career start in place of McKnight, who leads USC with a career-high 1,014 rushing yards.
The Emerald Bowl is a post-season college football bowl game certified by the NCAA that has been played annually at 40,800-seat AT&T Park (home of the San Francisco Giants) in San Francisco, California, since 2002. It was previously known as the San Francisco Bowl and its official name was the Diamond Walnut San Francisco Bowl in recognition of the corporate title sponsor, Diamond of California, from 2002 to 2003. (The company is now known as Diamond Foods, Inc., with Emerald of California its primary snack nut brand, and as such remains the title sponsor.)
