Those looking to see the upcoming season's odds-on favorite to win the Heisman Trophy put on a show Saturday went home disappointed, as USC quarterback Sam Darnold attempted just six passes.

The Rose Bowl record-setting quarterback went 4-for-6 for 58 yards during the Trojans' spring game.

USC only ran 62 plays, with 22 of them being passes by scholarship quarterbacks.
