Southern California transfer Stephen Carr is hoping a fresh start at Indiana will lead to a big season in the Hoosiers’ backfield. The Doak Walker Award National Selection Committee certainly thinks it's possible, naming Carr among 82 ball carriers who could be in contention for the title of America’s top running back.
Carr, who announced his transfer to IU in May, rushed for 1,329 yards on 264 carries with 12 scores in 35 games, including six starts for the Trojans during his four seasons with the program. At IU, he’ll be reunited with former USC position coach Deland McCullough, who returned to Bloomington in February for a second stint leading the running backs.
