The players are ecstatic!

Helton is undefeated against Cal, joining the USC staff in 2010 as a quarterbacks coach under Lane Kiffin. He upgraded to passing game coordinator in 2012, then became offensive coordinator in 2013 and has stayed in that capacity until early 2015, surviving a few coaching changes. As the interim coach in 2015, he managed the Cal game reasonably well, pulling out a solid 27-21 victory.
