The Georgia Southern Eagles have hired former USC coach Clay Helton as their new head coach, the school announced Tuesday.
Embattled USC head coach Clay Helton will now call plays on offense for the slumping Trojans, he announced Monday.
USC will start Jack Sears, who has yet to throw a pass in college, at quarterback against Arizona State on Saturday. On Thursday, coach Clay Helton said starter JT Daniels was still in the concussion protocol, and backup Matt Fink has broken ribs.
The USC defense was dealt a major blow Sunday, when coach Clay Helton announced that senior outside linebacker Porter Gustin would miss the remainder of the season with a fractured ankle.
USC coach Clay Helton is stressing the need for better practices after a 1-2 start. "If you don't provide that leadership," Helton said, "they are not going to do it."
JT Daniels looked bad against Stanford. But as Texas and Tom Herman can attest, making snap judgments on a true freshman QB after one game is not wise.
