COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : USC : Hervey, Green Returning From Injuries

Senior wide receiver Ed Hervey, who has sat out every game since the Washington opener because of a knee injury, and junior tailback Leonard Green, a sensation in training camp, will be available Saturday against Stanford.

Green suffered a hamstring pull in August, twice tried to come back too soon and aggravated the injury.

Stanford Coach Bill Walsh was asked about the pounding his quarterback, Steve Stenstrom, has taken so far--particularly with so many Pacific 10 quarterbacks being injured this season.

“We’re concerned for him,” he said. “You watch the tape and you wonder how he gets through it. He had to throw 59 times against Notre Dame, and that’s way more than you’d like.”

USC has announced the Nov. 26 game against Notre Dame at the -Coliseum is a 93,000-seat sellout. . . . USC has lost at Palo Alto only twice since 1956, most recently, 23-9, in 1992. . . . Coach John Robinson, talking about the 1995 Trojans recently: “We’ll probably be a two-back offense next year, where both backs handle the ball.”
