USC has a heritage of being known as "Tailback U". So why aren't the tailbacks being used enough.
(Note: This wasn't an actual conversation that took place in the offense huddle during last night's loss)
Cody Kessler: "Student-body right" USC gains 12 yards.
Cody Kessler: "HB Dive on two, ready... break." Trojans gain seven yards.
Next 20 plays: 4 rushing attempts.
In looking at the numbers from last night's disappointing loss, one number stood out to me: 6.3. USC was averaging 6.3 yards per carry if you take out the -25 rushing yards by Cody Kessler, which were as a result of sacks.
