USC fullback Stanley Havili, who sat out nearly all of the last three games because of a shoulder injury, will start Saturday against Stanford, giving the struggling Trojans offense a boost.
Havili, hurt in the game against Notre Dame on Oct. 17, did not play against Oregon State and Oregon. The junior was in for a few plays last week against Arizona State but did not carry the ball or catch a pass in a victory he described as "just a terrible game to watch."
"We just need more tempo -- we need more life out there," Havili said Tuesday. "If you ask anyone, it seems like the offense is dead even when big plays are made.
"This week I've told myself to make it an emphasis of bringing guys up and letting guys know that they are doing good."
Havili's return should bolster an offense that has been outgained in each of the last three games and produced only 10 points in the last six quarters.
