\nOlson may return as the starter at quarterback against No. 2 USC on Saturday at

\nsix games,\u201d Dorrell<\/span> said. \u201cHe has a good feel of what
\nwe\u2019re doing. He understands the speed of the game a little bit better at this
\npoint in time given that one has had a long time off and he\u2019s been playing.
\nThey are all strong factors.\u201d Cowan has passed for more touchdowns and yards

\nwho has not played in a game since returning to practice in late October, is at
\nfull speed. Olson started the first five games of the season and was 3-1 in
\ngames he finished. Dorrell<\/span> said the decision does not
