With Thursday’s USC Football practice at Howard Jones Field presented the first big hurdle for quarterbacks Matt Fink and Jack Sears to clear: Both passers threw their first interception of camp.
Sears, who took the majority of first team reps after Fink held the No. 1 spot on Tuesday, was the first to get dinged. During the early team period, he threw a pass over the middle which Cameron Smith tipped into the air. Marvell Tell got under it and picked it off.
Later, Fink took an ill-advised chance during the 11-on-11 period, going long for Michael Pittman in double-coverage.
