LOS ANGELES -- USC?has signed a permission-to-contact form for backup quarterback Max Browne, which will allow him to seek a transfer destination anywhere in the NCAA.Browne, who has graduated and is enrolled in a masters program at USC, will be eligible to play immediately next season. He is expected to finish the season at USC and transfer in time to participate in spring practice at a new school.USC could have blocked a transfer within the conference, but it placed no restrictions on where he can go. Browne and his family are free to start reaching out to coaches immediately, and vice versa.He asked for permission to talk to everyone and we granted everyone, USC coach Clay Helton said. I think thats the only respectful thing for him. You want the best opportunity for yourself and you dont know where that would be.Out of respect for the type of guy he is and how hes handled things around here, I personally think he deserves it.The news comes as no surprise, after Browne -- a redshirt junior -- was benched after starting the first three games of the season in favor of redshirt freshman Sam Darnold. At the time of the switch, Browne all but confirmed he would transfer.You think about it right away, Browne said of transferring. You think about all the possibilities at hand, but at the end of the day, its only Week 4. There is a lot of ball to play, and so Ill stay ready.USC went 1-2 with Browne as the starter, before Helton opted to go to Darnold. Browne has completed 58 of 91 passes this season for 507 yards and two touchdowns, with two interceptions.Max has been so good to us and so good to this football team and is a graduate, and thats whats most important, Helton said. Hes graduated from this university, and hes done everything right. So, he deserves the opportunity to find his perfect fit, whether its here or someplace else.Out of respect for him, a guy that I truly love, I want him to be able to talk to other folks and see what is the perfect fit.Browne, who is from Sammamish, Washington, was the No. 2-ranked quarterback in the Class of 2013. He sat behind?Cody Kessler?for three years and was named the Trojans starter just before this season began. Yeezy From China .

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee wont have the services of running back Alvin Kamara this week as it attempts to begin a third consecutive late-season surge.Volunteers coach Butch Jones said Monday that an injury would prevent Kamara from playing Saturday at South Carolina (3-4, 1-4 SEC). Jones didnt say what Kamaras injury was but expects the junior to return in the next couple of weeks.As of right now, he does not need surgery and were anticipating him being back here in the next week or two, Jones said. Thats very, very encouraging for us.Kamara, one of four team captains, has rushed for 313 yards and three touchdowns on 64 carries this season. Kamara also has 22 receptions for 260 yards and three touchdowns, and hes averaging 10.2 yards per punt return on 18 attempts.While Kamara wont be available Saturday, the 18th-ranked Vols (5-2, 2-2) also received plenty of good news this week as they seek to end a two-game skid and establish some more late-season momentum. Tennessee ended last season on a six-game winning streak and won four of its final five games in 2014.Linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr. has missed five straight games with a high ankle sprain, but Jones said Monday that hes very, very encouraged about the possibility of the sophomore returning Saturday. Cornerback Malik Foreman is practicing this week after missing one game. Jones also said everyone should be back on the offensive line after injuries left Tennessee without four of its five starting linemen Oct. 15 in a 49-10 loss to No. 1 AlabamaJones also is confident cornerback Cam Sutton, another team captain, will return soon from a fractured ankle that has sidelined him for the last four games. Jones said from everything Im being told, hell only be out for a couple more weeks.Tennessee is returning from a bye week after playing four consecutive ranked opponents, a stretch that included victories over FFlorida and at Georgia plus losses at Texas A&M and at home against Alabama.ddddddddddddTheyre a very talented bunch, South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said. I think they probably had the toughest run that Ive seen in this league in a long time in the four they had to play and where they had to play them.Tennessee should be favored in all its remaining regular-season games, but Jones takes issue with the notion that his teams schedule is much easier down the stretch.If we thought the first seven weeks were a grind, the last five weeks are going to be even more of a grind, Jones said.A look at the records of each of Tennessees opponents suggests otherwise.The Vols first seven opponents own a combined 38-12 mark (36-7 if you dont include their results against Tennessee). Tennessees remaining five foes are a combined 16-21. Tennessees only remaining opponent with a winning record is Kentucky (4-3, 3-2).Jones notes that Tennessees remaining opponents are all improving, and there is some evidence to support that contention. Kentucky and Vanderbilt have each won two straight. Kentucky beat Mississippi State on Saturday, one week after Vanderbilt won at Georgia .First the Vols must take care of South Carolina. Although Tennessee is favored by 13 points, the Vols have reason to feel wary.Tennessee was a 17-point favorite against South Carolina last year but eked out a 27-24 victory only after recovering a fumble at its own 13-yard line in the final minute. The last four games in this series have been decided by a total of 11 points.Honestly, in the SEC you expect every game to really come down to the wire, Tennessee receiver Josh Malone said. Thats just the nature of the SEC.---Online:The APs college football page: http://collegfootball.ap.org ' ' '
