<!-- END INLINE UNIT --> USC coach Pete Carroll said he was uncertain whether Dennis would travel with the top-ranked team for Saturday night's game at BYU.

"We've taken care of our situation," Carroll said. "We welcome him back. I know he's a great competitor. During this week of practice, we'll see how he fits in."

Carroll said the disciplinary action sent a message to the entire team, although he wouldn't go into detail.

"It was a big mistake. He paid dearly for it," Carroll said.

Dennis, a 5-foot-11, 200-pound junior, was USC's second-leading rusher last season, gaining 661 yards on 137 carries with three touchdowns. He also caught 10 passes for 62 yards and one TD.

Dennis shared the tailback position with then-freshmen LenDale White and Reggie Bush a year ago, with the trio combining for 1,936 rushing yards to help the Trojans win 12 of 13 games and The Associated Press version of the national championship.

White gained 201 yards on 29 carries and Bush picked up 111 yards on 21 carries in USC's first two games -- a 24-13 victory over Virginia Tech on Aug. 28 and a 49-0 triumph over Colorado State last weekend.

Dennis said Carroll told him last Friday that he would be reinstated Monday.

"It feels great, man," Dennis said after going through his first practice since being suspended on Aug. 17. "It's been a little frustrating. I tried to make the best of it. It's a big burden off my back.

"I feel like I let everybody down, not being able to play. I learned to follow the rules. It's all over now. I'm just ready to get back."

Carroll said he expected Dennis to make an impact at some point during the season, but isn't sure when.

"We like the rhythm that we're in right now. I think he'll add to it," Carroll said. "It's a long season. There are a lot of snaps."
