Sark Needs Kessler to...

...Understand the emotions of the game on the field?

...throw it to more than one person 50 times

I can't find the article now but Sark said it will be two years before the numbers recover from the sanctions.

Found it. This quote is great.

"We'll probably feel the effects of those sanctions for two more seasons, quite honestly," Steve Sarkisian says.

Other notable quotes:

“These sanctions, in my opinion, would have crippled the majority of programs in college football,” first-year coach Steve Sarkisian said. “But USC is a special place.”

"I think this," Sarkisian says. "When we come out of this thing, I think it's truly gonna show the power of USC, because there are not many schools, if any, that could have withstood (the sanctions) in the matter and fashion that USC did. … I credit the previous coaching staff for finding their way through it. And now we have an opportunity to show how powerful USC is as we continue to take the next steps toward winning another championship."

“It was a chance for us to be a couple years removed from the sanctions. We’re going to need a full roster to play [Alabama in 2016], that’s for sure.”

"...But we're still feeling the effect [of the sanctions], and these kids were all in junior high school when it all happened. So we have mixed sentiments."

"I think moving forward, as we get a full allotment of 25 scholarships this year, we're going to shift ourselves back into this. There's going to be really hard, physical practices every time we take the field," Sarkisian said. "We don't have that luxury right now, which is OK. There's been a formula for our success. I think we've done an adequate job of implementing that from a practice standpoint. Our players have been fresh. We're healthy.

"But at the end of the day, if you want to be a tough, hard-nosed, physical football team, you have to believe in it. You have to practice it. And it has to be an everyday thing. It cannot be a sometimes thing."
