Whether coach Clay Helton was eager to do so or not, part of the changes being made within the coaching staff this season include the USC head coach having to delegate more responsibilities to his assistants. He now will involve himself less in weekly game-planning and position meetings, and more in general oversight and player management, two roles in which he has actually done well in recent years. This is good news for many reasons, but most importantly, it removes Helton from play calling, an area in which he struggled mightily last season, as the offense failed to move the ball with any consistency.
