    LOS ANGELES — As Clay Helton spoke with a crowd of reporters after a preseason practice Tuesday evening, he arrived at a familiar topic.
    It was 11 days before USC’s season opener against UNLV, and the Trojans remained without a starting quarterback. Over the padded practice that lasted for more than two hours, JT Daniels, Matt Fink and Jack Sears continued to split reps, just as they had throughout training camp and in a pair of scrimmages earlier this month.

    LOS ANGELES — Manny Machado’s name was announced over the public-address system Tuesday night. He bowed his head and walked from the edge of the grass behind home plate toward the batter’s box, with all the nonchalance of a man who had been summoned to the next available window at the DMV. He gently tapped the home plate umpire’s leg with his bat, then the catcher, then dug his feet into the batter’s box.
