USC Football Position Preview: Running Backs

The running game has been a vital part of the USC offense for the last few seasons. Last season the offense has experienced some historic lows that contributed to a 5-7 season. The running game was ranked one of the worst in the Pac-12 with 133.5 yards per game and 17 total touchdowns. USC was also without a 1,000 yard back with senior Aca’Cedric Ware leading the team in rushing with 825. New Trojans offensive coordinator Graham Harrell brings in the air raid offense which focuses on the passing game. With the attention on the wide receivers and quarterback, what roll will the running backs have in the offense?
