BRIEF: Jalen Greene proves valuable as pass-catcher and thrower

Nov. 03--Jalen Greene's move from quarterback to receiver continues to pay dividends for USC.

The redshirt freshman completed a 34-yard strike to receiver Deontay Burnett on a reverse pass in the second quarter of USC's 27-21 victory over California.

It was the third time this season the left-hander completed a pass.

It was the left-hander's third completion this season. Greene had misfired on a similar play in the previous game against Utah.

"I had to redeem myself," he said, adding, "I just set my feet a little better to calm down and gave them a good pass."

Greene also had a 15-yard reception against Cal. He has 10 catches this season.

"He's been a weapon for us," interim Coach Clay Helton said. "What I'm really pleasantly surprised with is how fast he's developed as a wide receiver."
