Quick hitters from USC?s Saturday practice:

** Defense dominated the first practice in pads. Cornerback Nickell Robey and defensive end Wes Horton were among the standouts. We?ll have more on the D later today.

** Linebacker Dion Bailey and tailback Buck Allen were new additions to the injury report. Both sat out because of hurt hamstrings.

** Playing in place of Bailey, Tre Madden had the hit of the day, leveling tailback D.J. Morgan after a reception in 7-on-7 drills.

** Fullback Soma Vanuiku also had a big hit, pancaking defensive end Morgan Breslin with a block in the backfield.

** Reserve quarterback Jesse Scroggins spent practice doing rollovers after ?missing something? earlier in the week, USC coach Lane Kiffin said.

** Center Khaled Holmes spent most of practice on the sideline because of a strained left calf. Abe Markowitz took Holmes? place with the first unit.

** Receivers Robert Woods (ankle) and George Farmer (hamstring) remained out.

** The Trojans will take the next nine days off for spring break. They will return to practice on March 20.
