Southern California tailback Stafon Johnson had emergency throat surgery Monday after a weightlifting accident. The senior who scored the No. 7 Trojans’ go-ahead touchdown against Ohio State two weeks ago was bench-pressing when the bar slipped from his right hand and fell onto his throat.
Johnson is the Trojans’ second-leading rusher with 157 yards, and he leads USC (3-1, 1-1 Pac-10) with five touchdowns. He led USC in rushing last season with 705 yards and nine touchdowns, but has evolved into the Trojans’ short-yardage specialist this season behind starter Joe McKnight.

You always need a spotter. I remember one time after I smoked some crack, I was working out and dropped a bar with 285 pounds on my chest. I broke 4 ribs and I got lucky.
