On The Return Of Practice:
On Daily Antigen Testing:
Helton: "Those machines arrived on campus this week. Hoping to have them in place by the start of training camp...We will have daily testing...We feel in a weeks time those machines will be up and running"
On USC's Offense:
Slovis: "We got a lot of reps going into last summer. The main difference is we know the system a lot better this year as a offense"
Helton: "You look at the amount of returners...what I've seen has just been the comfort level and the timing and everyone being on the same page... Kedon is pulling the trigger even faster it's been nice to move kids around to be able to see Amon-Ra [play] right [and] left... it's been good to see the kids are learning conceptually... I think were in a great place here offensively"
On No Fans At The Coliseum:
Helton: "It's going to be different" Helton went on to mention that no fans will call for an extreme sense of urgency for players and coaches to bring their own energy.
Slovis: "The most excited team always wins... you can always see on the sideline which team has more energy. For us nothing changes but at the end of the day its got to come from us"
