USC practiced at the Coliseum this morning, its third practice of training camp. I’m told some players who stood out in spring — defensive end Romello Height, linebacker Shane Lee, safety Calen Bullock — continue to look strong.

USC held its 7 a.m. practice, which was fully closed. Lincoln Riley offered his view on a difference since spring practice. “We’ve taken several steps since spring.
