Utah football: Scouting the USC Trojans with beat writer Zach Helfand

1. The biggest announcement this week was Sam Darnold supplanting Max Browne at quarterback. We heard they had a close battle in training camp, and Darnold played in the first few games sparingly, but are you
surprised that USC is making the switch this early? And what does Darnold give the offense that Browne does not?

Zach Helfand: Yes, I'm definitely surprised. Someone asked me a week ago on Twitter, about an hour after USC lost to Stanford, what the probability was that Darnold would start against Utah.
