JT Daniels out for rest of USC football season with torn ACL

The 2019 USC football season got off to a rough start despite a win over Fresno State in Week 1. Starting quarterback JT Daniels left with an apparent leg injury. On Sunday, multiple reports revealed the injury is a long-term one.

The quarterback has torn his ACL and meniscus, according to reports from Adam Maya of Maven Sports as well as the Daily Trojan.

Head coach Clay Helton is expected to confirm the worst during his weekly media conference call on Sunday night.

Despite only playing a half of football, Daniels completed 25 of his 34 passes for 215 yards with both a touchdown and an interception.
