Going into the season, Clay Helton’s offense looked like a looming juggernaut.
The Trojans had one of the best receivers in the country in JuJu Smith-Schuster, a veteran offensive line and a backfield stockpiled with talent.
The only thing missing was a dynamic quarterback.
After struggling the first three weeks of the season in a convoluted system that wasn’t fit for Max Browne, USC made the switch to Sam Darnold.
Lo and behold, just four games in, he’s helped make the Trojans’ offense their best in years.
Darnold put on a show during a 48-14 win at Arizona on Saturday afternoon, becoming the first freshman quarterback in school history to throw for five touchdowns.
