QB JACK SEARS
--on what he needs to work on
“Just normal stuff to clean up, I guess. Protecting the football is a big key; I come out of each practice working on it.”
--on if he’s more comfortable going into the final practices
“Definitely with each practice, I’m more comfortable with more reps. You’re naturally going to gel with some guys and get used to the play calling and it’s more fun.”
--on Clay Helton saying he needs to develop as fast as possible
“He’s right. Not a lot of have playing time. Matt (Fink) has a little bit from last year, Holden and I have none. So we’re trying to make practices as game like as possible because that’s the best way to develop.”
--where he thinks he made the most strides in spring practice
“Just understanding the concepts a little bit better, just my decision making and getting through the reads.”
--on what he needs to correct from last Saturday’s scrimmage
“Trying not to be perfect. Sometimes I try to be too perfect on my throws and ball location. I just have to let it rip and trust in my guys and trust in myself and let it go.”
--on what Helton and Bryan Ellis told him after that scrimmage
“Just protect the football. That’s a big emphasis this whole spring, especially after Saturday.”
--on what he saw and learned from Sam Darnold
“Just composure. What stood out to me is no matter what happened, if he threw a pick, a touchdown or ran for 30 yards, he always came off the field as the same guy and had that confidence about him.”
--on what the competition has been like for him
“Competition is what we came here for. We chose USC so we can compete with the best guys. Matt and I are pushing each other and growing a lot along the way.”
--on if he’s felt chemistry with anyone so far
“I think they’re all developing. I see Tyler Vaughns and Michael Pittman are stepping up their game and they’re vets. And we have little things we’re working on and it’s great to see them out here everyday.
