LOS ANGELES (AP) — Interim coach Donte Williams will try to use the bonds he's formed with players as a recruiter to salvage Southern California's football season.

He may also leave athletic director Mike Bohn with a difficult decision to make as the West Coast's historic college football power searches for a new leader. 

Williams has overseen just a handful of practices since being named interim coach following the firing of Clay Helton. 

His first game in charge comes Saturday when the Trojans travel to Washington State.
