Remember when USC decided they didn't have the talent to play man up smashmouth ball and went to the air raid

Helton won’t make it past October. Fired after the loss at Nd or colorado

Looking at the schedule, USC could legitimately start 0-6

Below is what Petros Papadakis said today.
Excerpt: “They are so afraid of playing Sears. It is so plain to see how desperately they don’t want this young guy to be featured at all. … How about the guy that balled in an actual Pac-12 game? He is a fouthh string guy?! . . . (Daniels) must be protected politically by the depth chart.” -
Imagine the punch in the stomach it must have been for Jack Sears and Matt Fink on Tuesday to find out they could not even beat out true freshman Kedon Slovis.
I’ve heard Helton wanted to make Slovis No. 2 for two weeks but I’m not sure how it helps the team. Did he win the back-up job by going 7 for 17 in the first Coliseum scrimmage with an interception? He performed better in the second scrimmage but his several deep passes were underthrown.
It doesn’t matter because Helton wanted him to be the back up.
Why do I say I’m not sure it helps the team? Because in the first half of the season, there is a pretty good chance JT Daniels will beg out of a game for whatever reason. At that point, and against many of those teams, why would you insert a true freshman who threw at least six more interceptions in training camp than Sears?
Sam Darnold threw no interceptions in his true freshman training camp and that was without a spring like Slovis.
Helton could have had No. 2 in his head and started giving him mop-up in games later in the season. But the players want to win games and if Daniels goes down, they want Sears (or Fink).
Graham Harrell told the quarterbacks and media that leadership was a big factor in picking a starter. How much could a true freshman really show in 30 practices?
The truth is the coaches talk out of their backside and then choose whoever they want. Helton sent a message to Sears and Fink on Tuesday that they have no future at USC.
If he believes that, no problem. But it doesn’t help the team. And he might pay the price if his golden child gets hurt early in the season.
Remember, Helton is the quarterback guru who picked Max Browne over Darnold and said Daniels was the best quarterback he ever saw in high school. -
Haener to USC
