Offseason Update #13 (Quarterback Battle)

   Unfortunately, head coach Clay Helton hasn't decided who is going to be the starting quarterback for this upcoming season. Although, it gives the coaching staff more time to make sure that they make the right decision, it holds the team back because the receivers can't get used to their starting quarterback. Clay Helton decided to make his decision in the fall because their isn't an obvious winner in the quarterback battle. The battle is between redshirt junior Max Browne and redshirt freshman Sam Darnold. Max Browne is a pocket passer, while Sam Darnold is a dual threat player that also has a good amount of arm strength. According to Clay Helton's post spring practice interviews, both quarterbacks showed amazing skill throughout the spring. I personally feel that Max Browne is the man for the job because he was second string to former quarterback Cody Kessler which he probably learned a lot from, so not only is he experienced but he has also shown his accuracy and arm strength throughout the spring. I truly hope that Clay Helton makes his decision soon because the first team offense needs to get used to the playing style of the starting quaterback, and figure out his tendencies. Hopefully, Clay Helton makes the right decision to lead the Trojans to an amazing championship season. I hope to see you guys next week to talk about why I think this upcoming season can be a great one for the Trojans.
