Clay Helton has a plan to make the 2018 USC football team a more physical squad and Monday was the first day to truly implement it.
The strategy? More live reps.
“We’re going to play ball,” Helton said after practice on Monday. “That’s what this team needs. They need live reps.”
Working in shorts and shells for the first time this Fall Camp, Helton noted most of the work the Trojans put in came in the form of team work with Team Run, Team Blitz and Team Third Down periods.
Improved depth this year has allowed USC to “two-spot,” which means running the same segments in two groups simultaneously.
