Mangus says Mitch is favorite to win QB1 job, tight spirals and some other stuff

Injury Report:

Nothing crazy here. Pretty minor stuff.

USC practice 13 -- Cody Waldrop (shoulder), Cedrick Cooper (illness) on the yellow jersey list.

QB Battle:

Hey we might actually have some newsworthy stuff for once! Coach Mangus said today that Connor Mitch, after reviewing the scrimmage tape, is the favorite to win the starting QB job. It may not be much, but at least we have a definitive answer, even if we knew all along, as to who the front-runner is. Spurrier and Mangus both said that Mitch graded really well from the scrimmage tape. It seems that the coaches think that Mitch's struggles Saturday were perhaps not all his fault. (I bet him missing his top offensive weapons on the 1st string offense didn't help him either.)

Offensive line update:

We've all heard about the o-line's struggles so far in camp, but at least this is a good thing

Shawn Elliott: Snaps have been tight in practice. Only the occasional grounder. Rotation at C is Knott-Waldrop-Bailey.

So yea, that's pretty much it today guys. I'll wrap it up with a quote from Spurrier:

Spurrier: "Nothing too spectacular today. We still got a whole lot of coaching to do."

Pretty much the summation of fall practice so far. More tomorrow....we hope.
