Most of you know the story. USC began the season with former Skyline High and 5-star QB prospect, Max Browne at QB. With him running the offense, they stumbled through September and limped to a 1-3 start. They were blown out by Alabama, and lost to both Utah and Stanford. Head Coach Clay Helton’s off season proclamation that USC was done with “Hollywood” and would commit to toughness, physicality, and running the ball seemed a far cry from what was on the field.
In comes redshirt freshman Sam Darnold to save the day, and how he has. A mobile QB, he still lost his first start to Utah, but the Trojans have ripped off 5 in a row, and have looked like a completely different team, especially offensively.
