Former USC Trojans quarterback Max Browne is headed to?Pittsburgh?for his final season of eligibility as a graduate-transfer.Browne visited the school over the weekend, and after returning to Los Angeles he had a pretty good idea thats where he would go.He sat on it for a few days before making the announcement on Twitter on Thursday.Its way different than USC is terms of the city and the feel and the weather and all that, Browne told ESPN. As far as the vibe to the team, the guys I was around when I was there, it was a good fit. I got along with those guys. Really like them and its a great opportunity for me in my fifth and final year.Browne will enroll in a graduate school program on Jan. 5, and be with the team in spring practice.On Wednesday, it was announced that Pitt offensive coordinator Matt Canada was leaving for LSU, but Browne said that wasnt a concern.Coach Canada was part of the equation, but at the end of the day, [head coach Pat Narduzzi] was the biggest factor for me, Browne said. Hes excited about me. Hes excited about what I can bring in.Browne said he was told Pitt would focus on bringing in a replacement after the Panthers game against Northwestern in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 28.As far as who theyre going to get, he said theyre going to get a guy that fits me, Browne said.Browne, the No. 2-ranked quarterback in the Class of 2013 and Gatorade National Player of the Year in 2012, sat behind Cody Kessler for three years at USC and was named the starter over Sam Darnold near the end of training camp. He started the first three games of the season for the Trojans, but after they started 1-2, Darnold replaced him.His final start came in a 27-10 loss at Stanford, which, coincidentally, was where he was when he made the announcement Thursday. He was in town visiting his girlfriend, who lives near Stanford.I made that joke to her, he said. I made my announcement on the Stanford campus, the last place I started that helped me lose my job.The coaching staff and Brownes teammates at USC have been overwhelmingly supportive of his decision to leave.Its a body thats gone and its a great guy like Max gone and its really sad, but you try to move on as best as you can, Darnold said. Its definitely a bummer without him in there and were going to miss him, but you just got to move on and just wish him the best of luck moving forward.USC coach Clay Helton said Wednesday he had not been contacted by any coaches interested in Browne, but would do whatever he could to help him during the process.Browne graduated from USC prior to this season and is two semesters short of an MBA. He said he plans to finish that program eventually. Lakers Jerseys 2020 .

LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St. South Africa came through their first outing with the pink ball without any problems in their tour match at the Adelaide Oval. In preparation for their first day-night Test, South Africas batsmen spent 133.5 overs facing the pink ball and their centurion Quinton de Kock explained that it was not as tricky as they thought it would be.I didnt find any difference, de Kock said. I am not one to overthink it. A ball is a ball. I just play the way I should be playing in that situation, its no difference to me.De Kock warned spectators not to read too much into the performances. It doesnt bother me whether I score a duck or a hundred. To me a warm-up game and a net is the same thing. When it comes to game time and focus time, I like to contribute where I can, he said.De Kock only batted in the first innings and scored 122 of 103 balls. Hashim Amla (51), JP Duminy (97) and Rilee Rossouw (77 in the second innings) also got comfortable, but openers Dean Elgar and Stephen Cook, and the captain Faf du Plessis did not capitalise on their starts. They will have a second opportunity to get their eyes in, when South Africa play another day-night practice match in Melbourne before the third Test, which will be played with the pink ball.For de Kock, the two things that stood out were not different from what he faces in any other game. Early on, I found it a little difficult but I think that is part of any cricket, white ball or red baall, he said.ddddddddddddI also found the outfield quite slow. Normally, you play on a square back home so its easier to hit the boundaries. With a drop-in pitch, hitting boundaries was a bit harder.De Kock also played down the difficulty of batting during the twilight period, when natural light is replaced by artificial light. I thought it was quite nice during the twilight period, actually, he said.That period was also when South Africas bowlers found it best to use the pink ball. It seems to nip around when the lights come on but not so much during the day, fast bowler Kyle Abbott said. There was a bit of grass on this wicket. Not a huge amount of swing, just a bit more nip off the surface.Abbott joked that the South African team thought they had not seen that much grass on a surface in the last seven years, and that he would not mind if a similar amount was left for the Tests, albeit of a slightly greener variety.The ground staff may have to do something like that because the pink balls reputation for early deterioration remains. After 15 overs or so, it [the ball] started to peel, Abbott said.South Africas five quicks bowled in short spells and took two wickets each to end their first warm-up successfully. Tabraiz Shamsi, the only spinner, bowled only three overs without any wickets. ' ' '
