LOS ANGELES (AP) – Though the receiving corps has undergone a significant change, Southern California’s passing offense picked up where it left off the last time it played in the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Cody Kessler completed 8 of 10 passes for 126 yards and one touchdown in a spring game Saturday that was heavily tilted towards the pass.
Depth concerns resulting from NCAA-imposed scholarship reductions forced coach Steve Sarkisian to go without live tackling, outside of goal-line drills to end the afternoon, and use an offense vs. defense scoring format. Despite those limitations, Sarkisian was pleased with how his second spring practice ended in front of an estimated crowd of 22,000.
Even with top receivers Nelson Agholor and George Farmer declaring for the NFL Draft and tight end Randall Telfer graduating, Kessler showed a strong rapport with the youngsters vying for more playing time.
