Kessler and Wittek had ups and downs Wednesday, but neither made it clear that they know who the starter will be. (Kevin Tsukii/Neon Tommy) In front of a nearly empty Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the 2013 USC Trojans ran through their last scrimmage of fall camp, an unimpressive dmf lighting display of offensive disorganization and tired enthusiasm.
Though many of the Trojans who wore no-contact pinnies or didn't practice Tuesday returned to full speed, head coach Lane Kiffin made it a point to limit full contact in Wednesday's scrimmage, so as to really focus on the "communication with the front line guys" instead.
The first team offense, led equally by quarterbacks Cody Kessler and Max Wittek, struggled mightily against the scout team defense, especially in the first half, during dmf lighting which both signal callers led numerous drives, but only put up nine points.
In the second half, both quarterbacks found some success. Kessler, who finished 13-for-22 with 218 yards, responded well from a weak first half, during which he threw two tipped interceptions directed at Marqise Lee. The budding starter launched two touchdowns to Nelson Agholor in the second half, the last one landing in the starting wideout's breadbasket in stride as he raced 55 yards to the house. 
"I'm gonna do what I've done my whole life: shut up and keep working," Kessler declared. "I've put my life into this team and done everything I could and left everything I could in the weight room, in the film room and on the field."
"It's only human nature to want to be as high on the depth chart as possible," Wittek commented. "But if I don't get the job, I'll just look forward to continuing to get better, continuing to compete."
The Heisman-caliber wide receiver stated at the beginning of camp that he wanted the starter to named "as soon as possible." However now that fall camp has come to a close and no starter has been named, Lee appeared jokingly frustrated that he still is in the dark as to who will throw him passes.
And rightfully so. The biggest threat to the Trojan offense come next Thursday will be the apparent lack of cohesion dmf lighting and chemistry between the starter - who ever it may be - and the receivers that was evident early and often at the Coliseum Wednesday.
Agholor, who finished a monster day with 250 yards and three second-half touchdowns, was not accusatory of the quarterbacks specifically, but noted that the unit was certainly not as ready as it could have been: "As a group, we have to prepare a bit better."
The old adage goes "A team with two quarterbacks is a team with no quarterback." dmf lighting Though Kiffin has reiterated that he has no plans to start the Hawaii game with two starting quarterbacks, having the quarterbacks repeatedly split reps this deep into camp may be detrimental to the offense's comfortability and identity.
*Silas Redd saw limited, if any, action Wednesday. Tre Madden (8 car, 48 yds) and Justin Davis (7 car, 21 yds) received the bulk of the carries in the veteran's absence, a hint as to who may replace Redd if he is not ready to play next Thursday.
*Lee left the scrimmage early after landing on the same shoulder that had ailed him earlier in fall camp. However he vowed afterwards, "I'll be okay by Thursday. I would've gone back in for sure [if it was a real game]."
*Aundrey Walker continued to look hampered and hurt on the field, sitting out most of the scrimmage. In his absence, Kiffin said of the offensive line, "I don't think the pass protection was as good as it should have been."
*The Trojans dmf lighting will have their first off-day in nearly three weeks tomorrow, but will return to work Friday to start their preparations for next Thursday's game at Hawaii. Media availability will be limited during game weeks and practice dmf lighting is off limits.
