Notes and observations from Tuesday's practice ...
USC was in full pads. The team didn't seem affected in the slightest by the rain. Practice was still fairly physical.
11-on-11 scout:
Anthony Sarao and Cam Smith are the inside linebackers.
Lamar Dawson and Osa Masina enter with the second team.
Kevon Seymour, who was sidelined today, is limping as he walks.
Biggie Marshall is getting the bulk of first-team reps. Also, Isaiah Langley is with the second team rather than the scout team.
***
Uchenna Nwosu reaches for a nice pass break-up.
John Plattenburg delivers a hard hit on the back of Isaac Whitney to force an incompletion.
JuJu Smith-Schuster catches a quick out with Adoree' Jackson in coverage.
Max Browne connects with De-Quan Hampton on a corner post for a TD. Jonathan Lockett was in coverage.
11-on-11:
Dawson and Masina took first-team reps in this period.
Dominic Davis picks up a nice gain after making a great cut.
Chris Hawkins sniffs out a screen to Ronald Jones II and covers a good amount of ground to break up the pass.
Cody Kessler fires a 20-yard pass to Darreus Rogers, whose adjustment on the sideline enabled him to beat Biggie on the play. I know it wasn't on display this past Saturday, but Kessler shows good rapport with Rogers and Steven Mitchell Jr. in practice.
***
Browne finds Jalen Greene for a short gain.
A wide open Jones drops a forward pass in the backfield. You can tell he's still finding his way as a receiving option.
Browne connects with Hampton.
Deontay Burnett also was more involved in the team periods.

My notes are a bit limited today. Spent much of the afternoon packaging content on Jake Olson, who practiced for the first time. Hope you enjoy.
