Steve Sarkisian Is Not Lane Kiffin
I already mentioned how Steve Sarkisian is not wearing white shirts or a visor during spring practices, which is a good way to not look like Lane Kiffin. So I asked Sarkisian on Saturday why he hasn’t worn his trademark visor yet? “They don’t have any black ones,” he said.
And why wouldn’t he wear a white one? Perhaps because it is so identifiable with Kiffin.

Former USC QB Max Wittek visited Texas spring practice, another sign that he will end up there. It’s really down to Texas and Hawaii right now but Wittek favors the Longhorns.

USC Morning Buzz: Coliseum Survey Personal-Seat License Flaw
Many of the seats in the picture would fall under the $4,000-per-seat category in the Coliseum survey sent out last week. And that’s a problem. If you sit at the 50-yard line, you pay the same as the people sitting behind the goal posts. I’m guessing that will change . . . hopefully.

What USC QB Controversy, Cont.
Hans Gutknecht/Los Angeles Daily News
Here’s my story on Saturday’s Coliseum “scrimmage,” where he even Steve Sarkisian acknowledged Cody Kessler’s lead at the quarterback spot. Link here
Even the normally cautious Kessler seems past the idea of a quarterback competition.
“I’m just going in confident,” Kessler said. “Last year I’d get down on myself. I’d say I wasn’t thinking about (the starting job), but I was. I’m still going to compete, but the main thing I’m trying to do is make the team better, not help my own stock.”
