The USC Trojans have many strong assets on their offense. USC has several components that make its offense one of the more dangerous units in college football. One is their run game, which is returning at full strength. King Miller and Waymond Jordan should both be in for big years. The same could not be said for some of USC’s upcoming opponents. In a recent article, Lars Hanson pinpoints a weakness in this year’s Washington Huskies team. Here is what he had to say about the Huskies’ running back room:
“However, the true key lies in replacing (Jonah) Coleman’s impact.
With Cooley and Limar expected to be more of a dual-starter tandem similar to what Arizona featured in 2022 with DJ Williams and Michael Wiley, who combined for 173 carries, 1,147 rushing yards, and 11 touchdowns, when Coleman—much like former four-star recruit Brian Bonner this coming fall—was a true freshman and gave the Wildcats 75 carries, 372 yards, and 4 scores.
But if one or either of the veteran transfers isn’t able to be a dependable option for Fisch and running backs coach Scottie Graham, and at least one of Moss or the younger receivers isn’t able to step up in Boston’s absence, then it could be a scary season on Montlake for all the wrong reasons.”
If the Huskies can’t get much success out of their run game, it will be tough sledding this season in the Big Ten. The USC Trojans’ key to victory when they face the Huskies this season at home could be on the ground. Waymond Jordan and King Miller will be the Trojans who will have to set the tone for this football game.
