USC football practice notes: Change takes center stage on Spring Camp Day 1 (3/5)

It’s been a long three months since USC football players last suited up in cardinal and gold and took to Howard Jones Field in an official capacity. But the Trojans were back on Tuesday with the first Spring Camp practice of the new year.

It was an opportunity for players and coaches to get the bad taste of a 5-7 record in 2018 out of their mouths.

For head coach Clay Helton, this spring will be all about ownership. He told his players that leaders have to own their mistakes.

“For me, the ownership has to be able to identify the mistakes that happened, to be able to make it priority out here at practice, to be able to have a plan, to be able to correct those things and then execute that plan,” Helton said.
