Back to the USC Trojans Newsfeed

It's back to practice for USC, minus quarterbacks coach Tyson Helton, who is headed to Tennessee

After winning the Pac-12 Conference championship and taking some time off, the USC football team is back at work preparing for a Cotton Bowl matchup against Ohio State.

Coach Clay Helton called it a "typical" week — tape review on Monday, contact drills on Tuesday — but there is one difference.

Helton's younger brother, Tyson, has left his position as quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator to become the offensive coordinator at Tennessee.

Martin, who guided Tennessee to a national championship when he played quarterback in the late 1990s, was asked why he did not take over the job.
