USC wide receiver Marqise Lee said players are willing to take responsibility this season. As an example, he said last year if a player messed up in a practice, he would need to be told by a teammate to go run a lap. Now the players do it by themselves, Lee said.
What makes this interesting is last year we were told constantly that Matt Barkley and Co. exhibited great leadership. But as the altercation after the Sun Bowl proved, there was some dissension inside the team.
