USC freshman QB Max Wittek injured his knee during spring practice and sat out the school's scrimmage.

Wittek will undergo more testing before a diagnosis is announced, but he was seen icing the knee during the scrimmage. The team's top offensive weapon, receiver Marqise Lee, also sat out with a knee injury. Cody Kessler stepped up in Wittek's absence.

Max Wittek - QB - Trojans

USC freshman Max Wittek continues to see the majority of first-team QB reps in practice as senior Matt Barkley heals from a strained right shoulder.

Wittek finished the season as a starter against Notre Dame and showed a willingness to test vertically with his big arm. However, a few of those deep targets were inaccurate, which is certainly expected. We are almost certain that Barkley will return for his final collegiate game, but Wittek is one to watch for the future.

USC redshirt freshman QB Max Wittek will draw the first start of his career against Notre Dame on Saturday.

Wittek takes the place of senior Matt Barkley, who suffered an AC sprain in his shoulder late in Saturday's game against UCLA. The redshirt freshman has completed eight-of-nine passes for 95 yards and a touchdown in backup work this year.

Max Wittek - QB - Trojans

USC redshirt freshman Max Wittek was named the Trojans backup QB by head coach Lane Kiffin.

Wittek was recently elevated over fellow redshirt freshman Cody Kessler, who earned the backup role last season. Neither play saw game action last year for two reasons; first because Matt Barkley stayed healthy, and second to preserve their redshirts.

Max Wittek - QB - Trojans

Max Wittek showed marked improvement while competing to be Matt Barkley’s primary backup.

Either Wittek or Cody Kessler will enter the season as the No. 2 quarterback. At least on paper, they were even coming out of the spring. Wittek has a strong arm and is growing more comfortable in coach Lane Kiffin’s system.
