Between Tre Madden and Connor Spears, this USC offense has players for newcomers to look up to and check in with.
One of them didn't really make it to spring. For the other, last spring has been pretty much his entire USC career.
One of them is a fifth-year senior from Mission Viejo who, despite injuries, burst onto the scene wth a Marcus Allen-like start. The other has been as under-the-radar as it's possible for a redshirt sophomore transfer out of South Dakota by way of Columbia to be.
Both are running with the first-team offense and making plays the way USC can only hope they will -- running the ball, catching it and blocking.
