I know the USC team is loaded with superstars, but all of them will get their time to shine if they are patient. Their patience will also score them a nice multi-million dollar NFL contract.
Pete Carroll is using a three-back rotation now with CJ Gable, Joe McKnight, and Stafon Johnson. The backs all look pretty good, I can't complain. So far this season, Mark Sanchez has been passing the ball alot, so the tailbacks aren't getting as many carries, although they've responsed well to screen passes. Either way, as long as they gain yards, they've done their job, right?
It's looking like Allen Bradford will redshirt this year. He has a sore or bruised hip, which has kept him out of practice and the Oregon game, and redshirting is not a bad idea. He had good experience these first few games and two more years of eligibility should do him some good.
For Marc Tyler and Broderick Green, the redshirt freshmen, there will be a point in the not-too-distant future where they will be the primary backs. They have another 3 1/2 years at USC, so they will certainly be the go-to guys.
Curtis McNeal, a true freshman recently cleared by the NCAA to play, is most likely redshirting. I hope the 5-8, 180 pound running back will show the same playmaking ability as Jacquizz Rodgers.
USC has two running backs already in line for 2010: Dillon Baxter and D.J. Morgan
