2015 USC Football: Fall Camp Preview-Running Backs

Buck Allen jumped to the NFL despite having another year of eligibility. Can the “thunder/lightning” combo of Justin Davis and Tre Madden fill his spot?

In 2014, Buck Allen had the best single season for a Trojan running back since Reggie Bush's heisman-winning campaign in 2005. He was an integral part of Sark's offense, running for 1,489 yards and 11 touchdowns while also hauling in 41 receptions for 458 yards. His decision to forgo his senior season and declare for the 2015 NFL Draft was disappointing, but understandable.

However, the running back cupboard is nowhere near bare heading into 2015.
