Well it's not looking to promising for my Trojans. Today was their final scrimmage. The 1's were going going against the scout team on both sides of the ball. First off Lee went with a re-injury of his shoulder. Kessler and Wittek split time. Here are the stats from the scrimmage.


* 121 plays

* Final score White 29, Cardinal 0

* RUSHING:

Madden 8 carries for 48 yards

Davis 7 for 21


PASSING:

Kessler 13 of 22, 218 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT,

Wittek: 15 of 20, 231 yards, TD


RECEIVING:

Agholor 9 catches for 250 yards, 3 TD

Lee, 8 for 107


TACKLES:

Williams 4, 2 TFL, sack

Ruffin, 4

Woods 3, TFL

Hutchings, 3, sack

SCORING PLAYS:

Heidari 21 FG

Heidari 42 FG

Heidari 41 FG

Agholor 31 pass from Kessler

Agholor 38 pass from Wittek

Agholor 55 pass from Kessler

Both Marcus Martin (starting center) and Marqise Lee, who sat out the second half, said in a real game they would have stayed in and finished. Lee's shoulder was far less painful and had much more flexibility than the original injury.


Final Score was 29-0. The thing that's most concerning is this was against the scout team!!! Granted this was a no tackling scrimmage so take it for what it's worth. Sounds like the play calling is about on par from last year. Don't think it's looking to good for USC -22.5. Word out of Hawaii is that Taylor Graham is looking pretty damn good. Defense is trash. Doesn't really matter since USC can only score 3 TDs off the scout team.

They really need to name a starting QB soon. My money is on Kessler, but I've tried not to rationalize Lane Kiffin's coaching decisions in the past few years.

[AdamL2424]

Yea it's hard to do with Kiffin. I think he really wants Wittek to be the starter so he won't have to admit to himself that he was wrong about making Wittek the backup last year. I really hope it's Kessler. Kid is a gamer. Fight On!!!!

[BigdaddyQH]

Lee said that he hopes that Kiffin names someone by Friday, when they start to prepare for Hawaii. No matter who it is, you will see a lot of action from both players. Max Brown will redshirt this season.

[AdamL2424]

Hey BigD are you on the P?

[AdamL2424]

I don't think he will go with 2 QBS. Atleast I hope not.

[Terrapin Station]

Good notes. Looking forward to the Pac-12 season. I have a feeling that Kessler is going to the nod.

[BigdaddyQH]

If USC has not put up 21 points by half time, whoever is the starting QB will most likely get the hook.

[Eddy Munny]

I'm sorry OP, did you say something about this being non-tackling? Honestly, what are we supposed to infer from a tackle-free scrimmage? That's not football, that's just a bunch of grown men in an organized pillow fight, or as BigdaddyQH calls it, "his last birthday party."

[Hawaii]

USC Scout team vs. Hawaii 1st team would be close

[Big Bear]

i'm callin it now USC will covering all game and then kiffin will do something stupid that allows hawaii to get a backdoor cover
