USC coach Steve Sarkisian makes a call on play-calling, and it's a handoff

/ STAFF WRITER

LOS ANGELES – If he wants to get back in the good graces of USC fans, Steve Sarkisian just might have found a way.

The Trojans coach announced Saturday that he will delegate the majority of the game-day play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Clay Helton – something USC fans had clamored for long before last weekend’s incident at “Salute to Troy” for which Sarkisian had to apologize.

Sarkisian stressed that the change in responsibilities wasn’t a result of that situation but had been in the works for a while.
