Guess Who Got The Most First-Team Reps?
USC’s first spring practice is over and it appears JT Daniels worked with the first team the most Tuesday. “I’m a big fan of (the new offense),” Daniels said. “I feel like it plays to the strengths I have.” The key will be Thursday to see if Clay Helton and Graham Harrell rotate who works with the first team.

Who picked up this seat? Meanwhile . . . Velus Jones and Greg Johnson are still listed on USC’s roster, which must mean the coaches are still trying to talk … Continue reading Did You Pick Up Your Coliseum Seats?
