USC Now morning report: Trojans hold first scrimmage

Quote of the day: “I thought somewhat typical for a first scrimmage. We were a little sloppy with the penalty flags, a couple of things pre-snap on offense, a couple of alignment things up front with the offensive line, a little fidgety with some younger players, so some of that is to be expected, but things that we can learn from.”

-- USC Coach Steve Sarkisian, on the Trojans’ first scrimmage
