Notes and observations from today's practice ...
USC is in shoulder pads and shorts. We might see this for the remainder of the regular season.
11-on-11:
Adoree' Jackson comes up with an interception. (Our view was obstructed.)
Biggie Marshall thumps Justin Davis just as Davis is about to pull in a pass and the ball pops out. Harder hit than we usually see in practice.
Greg Townsend records a coverage sack on Cody Kessler.
Deontay Burnett catches a hook and cuts to the sideline for a big gain.
De'Quan Hmpton catches a quick out.
***
Kessler takes a shot in the end zone to Steven Mitchell Jr. but it falls incomplete.
Jalen Greene catches a jump ball downfield over Biggie. Really strong throw from Kessler there.
Greene catches a crossing route in front of Adoree' Jackson.
Osa Masina sacks Max Browne.
Quinton Powell breaks up a pass to Burnett.
***
7-on-7:
Greene catches a quick pass and cuts immediately after he hauls it in. Very instinctive move. His awareness is really impressive for someone so new to the position.
Kessler completes a deep out to Hampton.
Burnett catches a deep out from Kessler.
***
Connor Spears catches a pass near the sideline and is greeted with a huge hit from Biggie. Spears goes down hard but hangs on. Some of the offensive players took umbrage with Biggie's hit.
Steven Mitchell drops a pass up the seam. He's having a rough day.
Burnett catches a crossing route.
Kessler throws another crossing route, this time to Hampton, but the pass is a bit behind him and Hampton collides with Isaiah Langley and Adoree'. Kessler scolds the defense for all the contact while Hampton is slow to get up.
11-on-11:
Justin Davis runs a smooth wheel route and catches an intermediate pass. Reminds me that he's really light on his feet.
Greene catches a pass over the middle.
Mitchell drops a short pass.
Burnett drops a low throw over the middle from Kessler.
***
Another pass goes off Mitchell's hands, this one a deep out.
Kessler completes an excellent throw through a tight window to Burnett.
Ronald Jones II catches a short pass.
Kessler again took the bulk of the reps. USC also hardly ran the ball during the team periods.
