USC football’s running back rotation has been the subject of much speculation this year. A new pass-oriented offense, plus a running backs coach who traditionally rides one rusher, opened the door for a changing of tactics from past season.
Head coach Clay Helton put the stop to such talk on Monday when the Trojans returned to the practice field for Day 3 of Fall Camp.
“It will be multiple backs and there’ll be situational backs,” Helton said when asked about USC’s running back rotation for the coming season.
With a high volume of plays, the head coach is confident there will be touches to go around, especially when you consider the offense’s ability to utilize each back in different ways.
