I might start keeping a media poll on the USC quarterback job. The Los Angeles Times said JT Daniels should start the season opener. The Athletic said today to expect Daniels to start. Former UNLV coach Harvey Hyde and I have said Jack Sears should be the starter. To be clear, Hyde and I are saying who should start. Not who Clay Helton will choose.
