USC may be down to third-string quarterback against Arizona State
From YardBarker.com … The USC Trojans will be in a tough position during Saturday’s game against Arizona State because of injuries to their quarterbacks.
Starting quarterback JT Daniels is in concussion protocol after being knocked out of the Trojans’ loss to Utah. Backup Matt Fink suffered three broken ribs after entering the game in the fourth quarter.
The only other scholarship quarterback on the roster is freshman Jack Sears.
USC head coach Clay Helton says the team will keep prepare as if Sears is the starter and keep things simple.
USC does have two more options — Holden Thomas and Brandon Perdue — but that would be digging extremely deep.
Sears has not thrown any passes this season. The 4-3 Trojans will get ASU at home on Saturday.

Report: Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert likely to return for 2019 season
From YardBarker.com … Despite the fact that many believe Justin Herbert would be the top pick of the 2019 NFL Draft if he came out after his junior season, it’s being reported that the Oregon quarterback will return for his senior campaign.
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports noted on Sunday that, “…numerous sources said that there is a very strong sentiment from the Oregon program that Herbert will remain in school for 2019. Several scouts from NFL teams who have held informal discussions with friends and contacts on the Oregon staff said they would be very surprised if the quarterback opted to turn pro this spring.”
This report mirrors what a family friend recently said during an interview with a local newspaper in Oregon. Herbert is said to be very interested in staying in school one final year with the added bonus that he might be able to play with his brother Patrick.
Aside from all that, Herbert might do well to stay in school simply so that he has more experience once he does declare for the NFL draft. His physical tools are right up there with some of the best we’ve seen in years, and he routinely makes throws (like this) that scream “NFL franchise passer.”
But it’s also clear he has plenty of work to sharpen up those tools. So far this season, the junior signal caller is completing 61.8 percent of his passes for 1,883 yards with 18 touchdowns and five interceptions.
