IMHO Sunday: Spring break

In my humble opinion, cardinal and gold thoughts on what I see, what I hear, and what I think from Los Angeles: Taking a week off: In case you’ve forgotten, the USC Trojans football team broke from three days of spring practice back on Wednesday, March 8, and went on academic spring vacation. The club will return to Howard Jones/Brian Kennedy Fields on Tuesday, March 21, which mean no spring practice sessions for 13 days. Obviously, this is not ideal when you are looking for continuity and muscle memory. However, this vacation break after one week of spring ball was the same pattern employed by the former coach Clay Helton. Taking a week off – Part 2: I suppose you could debate going on spring vacation only one week into spring ball. However, Lincoln Riley said this week that since the Trojans open the season early and summer training camp will start either July27-29, it was best in his opinion to start spring practice early as well.
