LOS ANGELES >> Sam Darnold was just trying to win the USC quarterback job last year, so he wanted to perfect. But now that he is the consensus Heisman Trophy favorite, Darnold is putting USC’s unproven wide receivers through rigorous workouts during spring practice.
“He’s testing the waters with some of the young receivers,” USC quarterbacks coach Tyson Helton said. He’s challenging them, `Are you going to catch it?’ Some of it is Sam wanting to push the limit.”
And Darnold’s not just pushing his receivers with his passes.
“He’s been a lot more vocal at what he likes and doesn’t like (with the receivers),” Helton said.
