LOS ANGELES — Freshman walk-on Chase McGrath will kick field goals for No. 4 Southern California in its season opener, while freshman Michael Brown will handle kickoffs. Coach Clay Helton split the kicking job Thursday among two inexperienced candidates for the preseason Pac-12 favourites. McGrath and Brown are replacing Matt Boermeester, who kicked the winning 46-yard field goal as time expired in the Trojans’ 52-49 Rose Bowl victory over Penn State last season. Boermeester made 18 of 25 field goals last season and missed only one of his 54 extra points.
