USC quarterbacks Matt Fink and Jack Sears are playing with a chip on their shoulder in their final week of spring practices.
Fink and Sears know they've struggled at times as they compete to replace Sam Darnold and both want to prove that they are capable of developing into a starting quarterback.
"We want to come out and show that we are learning, that we are improving," Sears said after practice Tuesday. "And that we can run this offense."
"We had some shaky practices," Fink said. "But it was a confidence builder not only for us, but for the whole offense, I think, to finally put on tape what we could do.
