BRIEF: USC senior linebacker Hayes Pullard preparing for a strong finish

Nov. 06--When USC resumes practice Saturday, the Trojans will be gearing up for what senior linebacker Hayes Pullard hopes is a strong finish.

Pullard is completing his fourth year as a starter and would like nothing more than to complete the regular season with victories over California and rivals UCLA and Notre Dame.

"That's the main goal, going undefeated in November," Pullard said after the Trojans defeated Washington State last week.

Pullard helped the Trojans start the month right by making a team-best nine tackles and intercepting a pass against Washington State.

It was Pullard's first interception this season, the third of his career.

"I knew the defensive line was going to go out there and get pressure to the quarterback -- and I knew the ball was going to be out," he said. "I just tried to be trigger-happy."

USC plays Cal in a Thursday night game on Nov. 13 at the Coliseum.
