It seems that USC's injured Mark Sanchez is not the biggest problem facing the Trojans right now.
As much as 25% of the team has been affected by the apparent run of tinea cruris, kicker David Buehler estimated. The condition seems to have spread by way of new compression shorts, or tights, worn under their football pants.
Tailback Joe McKnight and receiver Travon Patterson were sufficiently afflicted to spend Wednesday's practice on the sideline.
"It burns," Patterson said.
Some players are suffering from this mystery "skin irritation" or "chaffing" as Pete Carroll has called it. A few years ago the team dealt with some minor staph infections although this seems to be a little different. Stafon Johnson joked that sometimes his teammates can't walk.
