Morning Buzz: Can USC Keep Six Tailbacks Happy?

How will USC keep its running backs happy this season?

The Trojans have six backs capable of playing this season and in the best of times, playing three is a challenge. I expect a lot from South Carolina-transfer MarShawn Lloyd. But returning tailback Austin Jones will play and Raleek Brown looks like he can play in the slot and at tailback.

So where does that leave Darwin Barlow along with freshmen Quinten Joyner and A’Marion Peterson? It’s not going to be a surprise if one of the freshmen shows he is better than the veterans. But will that translate to carries? It doesn’t always.

And if someone doesn’t play, how long until they consider the transfer portal? Remember, wide receiver Gary Bryant shut it down last season after three games.

  • Lincoln Riley, Caleb Williams and Mason Cobb will appear at 9:20 a.m. at Pac-12 media day on Friday. Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff will make his opening remarks at 8 a.m.

The Mountain West Conference media days are Wednesday/Thursday. There should be some good spinning there.

  1. I doubt Raleek Brown is satisfied with his role. He was a big time recruit. Reilly probably spent time talking with him about how they were going to tweek the offense to get him the ball in space, ect. He was likely expecting 20 touches a game but only got 5 to 8. I think he will transfer next year. Barlow won’t play and may transfer.

      1. What posters have said about so cal . It chaps his ass when reminded of his stupidity

        Hey So Cal old buddy, we are getting close to the season, work with us here. MG would greatly appreciate it. Let’s do football.

        Stop lying. Jesus! That cocaine was found in the visitor area AND NOT THE WEST WING! Biden is not that important to be so obsessed with! What’s wrong with you Qanon nutjobs? Biden sucks! We all know it! Why don’t you run for President? Fishwives!!!

        So Cal,
        I don’t mind political talk (topical, etc) but going to the same sorry trope of Biden & Dementia reeks of desperation for acceptance, and I am NOT a fan of Biden. It’s low hanging fruit and it’s lazy. Take it to Facebook

        So Cal,
        Say what you want about Biden, you’re entitled to your opinion. Please find another forum to vent your grievances other than “InsideUSC”. You said the blog was a place to root for USC athletic programs. Instead of looking like a major hypocrite post content related to its intended purpose.

        SoCal, I really can’t believe you attended USC? YOU must admit you have turned this blog into hating Biden for a long time since Wolf changed server. Talk Trojan football or any of their 19/20 teams competing in
        the NCAA

        So Cal, You’ve been telling us every day for two years now how Biden is senile and unfit to run the country and now he’s also a ruthless dictator capable of systematically destroying his opposition. Did you change your mind or is JB doing double duty

    2. Just Rent,

      You are correct about the 83 recievers. However, Caleb Williams is the best player and it was he who followed Lincoln Riley to SC, not the other way.

      Let me ask you a question and that is, how many fans do you think will show up to the first ugly home game this year? I say 10 fans will show up. Whereas SC will have over 50K.

      Like

      1. PT, old stick, I rather have my team go 12 – 0 before 1500 total fans then a team that winds up 3 – 9 before 800k fans.

        FYI PT, large yearly attendance figures don’t win games.

        For instance, in 2022 Dallas had an average of 93k and change fans per game; but their on field performance SUCC’d.

        KC, the SB Champs, were #6 in average attendance in 2022, some 20k + fans per game behind Dallas.

Go Troy typically has informative and entertaining post and I don’t think re-posting someone’s prior statement that contradicts his current one is unfair. It certainly doesn’t constitute harassment.

        Meaning of a 5150 hold:

        5150 is the number of the section of the Welfare and Institutions Code, which allows an adult who is experiencing a mental health crisis to be involuntarily detained for a 72- hour psychiatric hospitalization when evaluated to be a danger to others, or to himself or herself, or gravely disabled.

        This 72 hour period is sometimes referred to as an “observation period”. During this 72 hour period, the treatment team assesses whether the patient meets criteria for involuntary hospitalization.

        It is a fairly common (and can be severe) mental illness: about 0.32% of the population suffers from it. [Let’s see. There were 331 million Americans in the 2020 Census. I don’t believe they diagnose it (for sure) until one’s late teenage years, so let’s apply it to those Americans and Traitors like Fake Gabby 18 and over.

  16. If you get enough really outstanding players at any position then it doesn’t matter if some transfer out. Having too many great players at one position is a good problem to have. When there is that much competition, the result will be one or two great players stepping out of the crowd into stardom and maybe one or two transferring out.
    And USC will always get more great recruits coming in. I would think that some of these RB’s will eventually transfer out. We had a number of WR’s transfer out after last year and I actually think our WR group this year is better than last year. So I don’t think that it is a big issue.
