I don't no if anybody has discussed this yet, but USC rb/kr Desmond Reed blames the grass height @ ND on his knee injury last year.
• More fuel to the ND-USC rivalry: Injured Trojan KR-RB Desmond Reed is blaming his major knee injury/nerve damage on the ridiculously high grass at Notre Dame Stadium. "I believe it was the grass," Reed tells Gary Klein. "Guys were complaining like, 'Wow, I can't believe the grass is so tall,' " Reed said. "You never really think anything is going to happen. But something did, and I paid the price for it."
